Transparent color for control

[Administrator]

When i choose transparent color from a color edit the framework throws an exception saying that this color is not supported by the control.
To solve this i set
this.SetStyle(ControlStyles.SupportsTransparentBackColor, true);
But even then i get a error...How do i fix this

The GridControl has a public property that allows this,

this.gridControl1.SupportsTransparentBackColor = true;

The GridDataBoundGrid does not. But as indicated, you can derive the GridDataBoundGrid and set a style property in the constructor to enable this.

public class MyGridDataBoundGrid : GridDataBoundGrid
{
public MyGridDataBoundGrid() : base()
{
this.SetStyle(ControlStyles.SupportsTransparentBackColor, true);
}
}

But if you are trying to use TransparentBackColor in an editing cell control, this is not supported as this control is based on a RichTextBox that does not support transparency.
