Hello,
I have small problem, here's the situation:
There are a windows form - Form1;
And two picturebox'es - pictureBox1 and pictureBox2;
Those two pictures are transparent in some areas;
I put pictureBox1 all over the Form1, make form size = picture box size
and it makes nice transparent window;
But I need to put pictureBox2 on pictureBox1;
And there's a problem - transparent pictureBox2 areas shows not pictureBox1,
but Form1 background.
Is there any way to specify that current picturebox transparent areas shows control's view, over which that picturebox is ?
Thank you for the answer

Why can't you hide a control which you don't want. if i was wrong, can you just explain your requirement in detail?

I think it has something to do with "who comes first" in the collection, and who is who's parent.
Like picturebox2's parent is Form, so it's "transparen t" shows Form's background.
If you can make picturebox2 be a child of picturebox1, you might achieve your goal.

You were right, now it works as it should.
Thank you

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

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 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.
