TrasnparencyKey with Bitmaps

[Derrick]

I've tried a billion different things, but I can't seem to get the
TransparencyKey to work when I set the background image of a form to a
bitmap (I'm following the Visual Basic tutorial found here
http://msdn.microsoft.com/vbasic/att...o/default.aspx, under
"Nonrectangular Forms").

If I set the background colour of a form to say, green, then set the
TransparencyKey to green as well, it works fine. But if I set the
background image of the form to a bitmap with green in it, it doesn't go
transparent like it's supposed to. I've created background images in
Photoshop, Paint, and the bitmap editor of Visual Studio, in case there were
slight differences in colours, but nothing.

Anyone get this to work?

Thanks in advance,

Derrick
