Image Transparency. Set a level of transparency then to make an opaque image like in Vista.

I'm in over my head on this topic, but thought I'd give it a try if anyone could help me out.

Now, before you say "just set the property to transparent etc.," that's not my issue. I can do that. My problem is, when the image does in fact go transparent, the background shows up in place of the transparent area. I don't want to see the background, but rather the potential picture that could be behind it. Obviously if there is no picturebox behind it then it would default to the background though.

Any help would be appreciated. I've tried many things and none have worked for me. I've been using .gif's but could switch to .png or other formats if needed, just let me know how I can achieve this.

    Hi,

    Re: Image Transparency. Set a level of transparency then to make an opaque image like in Windows Vista.

    This would let you "partially see" the potental picture behind the areas you are thinking of making transparent.

    Don't ask me how though, this is just an idea.

    If you want to see a Windows Vista image as an example just reply YES and i'll post one on
