Property Value

This property only has an effect when the FlatStyle property value is System.Windows.Forms.FlatStyle.Flat or System.Windows.Forms.FlatStyle.Popup.

If this property's value is false and the background color is transparent, the cell will use the section's background color as it's background color to paint. At that time, if the section has a gradient effect, the gradient effect is invisible in the header cell's area.

If this property's value is true and the background color is transparent, the header cell's hover and press effect may be not available. You can use the FlatAppearance property to avoid this problem.

If this property's value is true, the translucency color such as Color.FromArgb(50, Color.Red) is is supported too.

Target Platforms: Windows 7, Windows Vista SP1 or later, Windows XP SP3, Windows Server 2008 (Server Core not supported), Windows Server 2008 R2 (Server Core supported with SP1 or later), Windows Server 2003 SP2
