The following code shows how to make a LayoutControl transparent, using the OptionsView.EnableTransparentBackColor property.
// Make the LayoutControl transparent
layoutControl1.BackColor = Color.Transparent;
//Make Layout Groups transparent
layoutControl1.LookAndFeel.UseDefaultLookAndFeel = false;
layoutControl1.LookAndFeel.Style = DevExpress.LookAndFeel.LookAndFeelStyle.Flat;
layoutControl1.OptionsView.EnableTransparentBackColor = true;
layoutControl1.Root.AppearanceGroup.BackColor = System.Drawing.Color.Transparent;
layoutControl1.Root.AppearanceGroup.Options.UseBackColor = true;
// Prevent embedded controls from inheriting the LayoutControl's look-and-feel.
layoutControl1.OptionsView.ShareLookAndFeelWithChildren = false;
' Make the LayoutControl transparent
LayoutControl1.BackColor = Color.Transparent
' Make Layout Groups transparent
LayoutControl1.LookAndFeel.Style = DevExpress.LookAndFeel.LookAndFeelStyle.Flat
LayoutControl1.LookAndFeel.UseDefaultLookAndFeel = False
LayoutControl1.OptionsView.EnableTransparentBackColor = True
LayoutControl1.Root.AppearanceGroup.BackColor = System.Drawing.Color.Transparent
LayoutControl1.Root.AppearanceGroup.Options.UseBackColor = True
' Prevent embedded controls from inheriting the LayoutControl's look-and-feel.
LayoutControl1.OptionsView.ShareLookAndFeelWithChildren = False
