I did some digging around and my suspicions are confirmed, you can't really do this with a PictureBox.
That said, it's pretty easy to just use a panel, set the background to transparent, then use GDI+ to draw your image yourself by overriding the OnPaint method.
Look into this and let me know it works out, or if you need some help.
hi graytexmo
tnx for you reply.
ill put a sample here,i tried alphablend(an api) and a glassy control in this sample.
it work with glassy control but it have very low speed in compile for big pictures,
i tried yor suggestion but its great if you can give me a sample.
i hope you got what i want.
Regards.

I think I might be unclear on what you're looking for.
Do you want:
A) Transparency, the portion of of the control that is not taken up by the picture is completely see-through, such that you can see anything behind it.
B) Opacity, the entire control, image included, is rendered such that you can see through the image to what is behind, but the image on top is still viewable.
Your page title threw me off, I thought you meant transparency but on rereading everything in light of your latest post I'm thinking you actually meant opacity. Two different things, sorry for misunderstandin g you.
I know you can control the opacity of the form itself, but I'm not sure about individual control. An alpha blend for a large picture can indeed be a fairly expensive operation if you do it every render cycle, but you might be able to do the blend on the image, render the result, and only update on a change.
Also, are you needing the control itself to be semi-opaque, or are you just wanting to lay two pictures over top of each other?

I am trying to make a transparent pictureBox. MSDN says to use
this.SetStyle(ControlStyles.SupportsTransparentBackColor, true); for the
form
and this.pictureBox1.BackColor = Color.Transparent; for the pictureBox
I does not seem to work. I have put this pictureBox on top of another one,
but its background is gray and it blocks the image. What am I doing wrong?
Thanks

Can someone tell me how you go about handling events where your window
might be obscured and then when you bring it to the foreground, you want
your picturebox control to be repainted instead of showing large,
blocked out areas created by overlapping windows.
I have seen numerous references to onpaint etc but I haven't found an
example to follow or at least my own efforts with onpaint haven't been
fruitful as yet.
