Transparent BackColor PictureBox

Hi,

Could anyone give me a way of getting a picturebox in winforms to
actually give me a transparent background? I need to layer images on
top of one another and obviously can't at the moment.

If this cannot be done, could you recommend a reasonably priced control
to solve the problem?

Thanks in advance

Dave

Bungle the picturebox doesn't handle transparency well. A previous
poster has suggested a possible solution to this would be to create
your own control that displays the image. The howto of this he said is
in the GDI+ FAQ.
