You mean like on the web? An easy way is this: place the bitmap on the form where you want it, and put a transparant picturebox on the place which should be the hotspot. Then you use the picturebox_click to execute the link.

Hi CrazyD,

You have mentioned "Transparent picturebox's"

How do you make these ?

Do you mean 'visible = false' ?

Drop an imagine control on the picture and use it's click event (an imaginecontrol with no picture is transparant)

Hi CrazyD

Thanks for reply; You originally said PictureBox
not Image Control.

I'm searching to make a picturebox background transparent (Another post) but I don't think it's possible.

My problem is that if I have a picturebox with a transparent picture in it, and I want to drag this picture over another picturebox picture, then picturebox1 rectangular background outline is VISIBLE !

Pass the PROZAC !!!
Best wishes....:-(................

If you're trying to implement drag & drop with a transparent picture, why not use icons ? VB3 had a great (if not a bit clunky) icon editor - ICONWORKS. If you make the areas you want transparent white, then copy the icon to the clipboard, then do file>>new, the paste, the white areas become transparent!

You can create hotspot on a image by create some regions:
CreateRectRgn (rectangle region), CreateEllipticRgn (round region) and use PtInRgn to retrieve the region where the user click. I hope you understand me (I'm french, sorry for my english).

Mate, you VB programmers are so much livlier than us over at Visual C codeguru....I stumbled in here by accident and now I'm rueing my career decision...this tip should work under VC though anyway - Thanks!
