Transparent images?

[Disabled]

I'm in desperate need of an Image control which can display jpgs and bmps with a certain color (255,0,255 in my case) transparented. It has to show other images trough the transparent part and also detect clicks only on the nontransparent part. Anything is appreciated!

You can you this attached control. It was originally programmed by Fox. I made some additions. Choose a picture for the control and set Mask Color property the color you want to be invisible

Wow last time i saw my sprite control was when I put it on the website.. that's years ago

Again note please: The Sprite is a UserControl and it uses MaskPicture and MaskColor to get transparency - this will be very slow if you use big pictures, many pictures or move them around fast. Just for you know... but it works fine and supports clicks

Hello Fox,
I've D/L this control as it looks interesting. I have now put it
in VB. Please could you give me some examples for the
properites and methods as it looks like it supports animation
which is a bonus!

Thanks

Jenk.

I added the animation
Though I have still not perfected it.
The attached source code is the only copy I have of the sprite.
It is modified a lot. Fox can you please give the original. I need it.
Thanks

Jenk Alert,
Please modify the soucre codes as follows

Public Property Let  TotalFrames(ByVal uTotalFrames As Long)

     PropertyChanged "TotalFrames"
     TFrames = uTotalFrames
     ReDim Pictures(uTotalFrames)
End Property

The array did not get redimmed during runtime
