    Transparent Form Background

    Is there a way to make the background of a form transparent? I have a picture on the form and that is all I want shown. I could even settle with some sort of wrapping around the picture. Anyone know? Thanks -Mike

    You can find many examples of this on PlanetSourceCode.com, though there's likely been discussions of it here as well.
    Please remember to rate the posts and threads that you find useful.
    How can something be both new and improved at the same time?

    Re: Transparent Form Background

    You can't make a portion of the form transparent, so you will have to change the shape of the form to fit the shape of the image. This can be done throught hte use of some API functions.

    This piece of code I once wrote and submitted to PSC explains how you can do such things: http://www.planetsourcecode.com/vb/s...22627&lngWId=1
