[RESOLVED] [2005] Draw circle with levels of transparency

Title says it all really. I have an image in a picturebox.

When I send a paint event to it I want a circle to appear of a certain size (which I've done) and have a light blue (for example) circle appear on the image but to be semi-transparent so I can still see what's underneath.

Is this possible? I found the option of:

VB Code:

g.FillEllipse(Brushes.Transparent, etc...)

but it's an all or nothing thing. Any advice or links would be very much appreciated.

You need to create a colour from ARGB

VB Code:

Dim g As Graphics = e.Graphics
        Dim brs As SolidBrush
        Dim clr As Color
        clr = Color.FromArgb(20, 0, 0, 45)
        brs = New SolidBrush(clr)
        g.FillEllipse(brs, 10, 10, 100, 100)

This is off my head as an example so no gaurentees :)

Perfect!

Works a treat.
