Overlaying Images

[Optic]

I have a picture box, picture1, and an array of picture boxs, pics, which contain transparent gifs. I want it so when i drag an image from pics to picture1, the image I dragged is overlayed ontop of the image already in picture1, while maintaining transparency. Does anyone know how I can do this.

I think you would have to use Image controls rather than picture boxes. Either that or BitBlt the pictures to the first picture box, but that's a lot of effort.

The definition is not available using the API text viewer but it does work

Here is the definition

Public Declare Function TransparentBlt lib "msimg32" ( _
