Hi,
I'm trying to make my PictureBox transparent to the BackgroundImage of
the Form, not the BackColor of the form.
Here's what i have:
---------------------------------------------------
this.BackColor = Color.Wheat;
this.gameBackgr oundBMP = new
Bitmap(GetType( ),"MyForm.backG round.bmp");
this.Background Image = (System.Drawing .Image)gameBack groundBMP;
this.foo = new Bitmap(GetType( ),"MyForm.comba tant.bmp");
System.Drawing. Color backColor = foo.GetPixel(1, 1);
this.foo.MakeTr ansparent(backC olor);
this.combatant = new System.Windows. Forms.PictureBo x();
this.combatant. Image = (System.Drawing .Image)foo;
---------------------------------------------------
The problem is that the combatant.bmp *is* transparent, but i see
Color.Wheat, not the this.Background Image.
Am I doing something fundamentally wrong here?
thanks in advance,
-alex- 2 33528
PictureBox will not do true transparency because it clears it's background
using the idiot transparency scheme of Windows Forms. You can create a
control that displays an image very easily. There is an article in the GDI+
FAQ about truly transparent controls that will help you to understand how.

Using MakeTransparent one can supposedly turn a color used in a Bitmap to
transparent. But, it looks to me like all it does it set these pixels to the
color BackColor of the Control it's attached to. Thus, when I set White to
the transparent color of a Bitmap stored in the Image of a PictureBox and
placed the PictureBox on a Form which has a BackColor of black, it turned
the white pixels of the bitmap image to black, but these black pixels...

I have a picturebox in my About form.
would like to have a link to my company website. Wanted the links
background to be transparent.
It seems that no one knows how to do this.
Have asked many times. VB help says that transparent is possible with a
background image but not above a control. So how can I provide a link (URL)
that is clickable, but transparent, over the picturebox in my about box?

I wish to code a control that writes a text over a picturebox and that can
be dragged with mouse.
Here is what i've actually coded to obtain a similar effect, but as you can
see i've serious problems with trasparence
Create new project and add a button in the form and then insert a background
image to the form itself.

I am unable to find appropriate documentation on the type promotion of bit-fields when using the generalised comparison operator "<=>".
The problem is that using the GNU compilers, it seems that the internal comparison operator "<=>" tries to promote arguments from unsigned to signed.
