I need a fast way to draw a picture in a picturebox with a level of transparency really really fast. Because, I'm going to me doing it over and over and each time increasing the transparency so it looks like it fades away. Thanks!

Use BitBlt or PaintPicture.
How? I'm... uh... new to this stuff... I know a little bit with BitBlt, but thats about it...
Here is an example of PaintPicture
Put this code in a CommandButton. Make sure that there is a PictureBox on the Form with a Picture already loaded. Also, Set the ScaleMode property for everything to Pixel
Code:Private Sub Command1_Click()
' Paint the Picture in Picture1 on the Form and
' shrink it to 32x32
Form1.PaintPicture Picture1.Picture, 0, 0, 32, 32
End Sub
Try this page, it shows how to use a dll called "alphablending.dll", it needs windows 98 or NT to work. http://www.planet-source-code.com/vb...txtCodeId=3213
Use Direct3DIM, that has to be the fastest way (if you have a 3d card, that is).
How do you use the function? Is it in the Type Library?
