button transparent in visual studio 2010

is it possible in visual studio 2010 (in开发者_如何学Go a Windows Forms application) to change the alpha button to make it almost transparent?

---

setting form's alpha will effect whole form and its contents. if u want particular control to be transperent try use png image with alpha channel. this technic works in vista and newer windows.

for XP u need to do pinvoke graphic32.dll(not sure about dll name) to build custom gdi.
