BooleanDescription
TrueThe caption area is transparent.
FalseThe caption area is not transparent.

Comments

The Transparent property defines whether the caption area is transparent.

The built-in caption can be rendered transparent, in which case the background of the enclosing window (form or dialog) is used as the caption's background and the defined background color Caption.BackColor is ignored.

Some development tools do not reflect transparency in design-time mode. While the property can be set at design-time, visually it will only take effect at run-time.
