To start with, you should think what does "transparency" mean. Chances are, you should not use PictureBox (as in most cases).
What is "sing fild"? Please, this is the English site; I don't think many will understand you. This request is quite unclear.

Even if you did "create a transparent picture box" what use would that be?

The first problem is that either the picture in the picture box hides the label / textbox when you show it, or the picture isn't visible either.

The second problem is that if a "transparent picture box" is on top of the textbox, any mouse activity will go to the PictureBox, and not to the textbox - which would annoy the heck out of me as a user, because I couldn't click into the text field, or Select any text, or...

Probably, that isn't what you want: you want to use the Forms designer window to move the textbox or label on top of the picture box so that mouse input goes to them, and they "clip" the picture. Easy - there are two buttons for that: "Bring to front" and "Send to back" - the purpose of each is obvious!
