Does Anyone know if there is a "transparent" color that can be used as a background color in a bit map & picture box? I'm looking to display a picture box on another, and would like the top not entirely cover the other. Thanks. There is 1 Reply.

Joshua, There's no "transparent" background color available. You can get the same result using the BitBlt Windows API call. There's a nice article covering this in the Sept/Oct 1991 issue of BasicPro magazine. – Ted
