help with graphics

I need to copy a 16x16 pixel sprite from an image and drop it in the main picture box. I can do this with BitBlt, but how do I make a color transparent? So that the sprite can be placed on a background.

Easy.

check out the VB section in GPMega:

the games tutroial by Timbo describes exactly what you want (animate03.zip, right at the bottom)

Its well worth going to GPMega anyway
