How to draw correct colour lines on a picbox?

[G7LRQ]

Thanks for reading this.

I have written a program that uses a picture box to display a picture(.bmp) and then I draw lines and filled boxes over the top (using the ?.Line()-(),,bf command) this all seems to work correctly except the colours I specify are not what I see on the screen, they are mixing with the colours from the .bmp.

Is there an easy way to get round this?

Can I have two picbox's one over the other with the top one being transparent except for the lines and boxes I draw on it?

Any help and code examples would be most grateful.

Thanks Anthony G7LRQ

To set the colour, change the ForeColor property of the PictureBox to whatever colour you want.
