Old problem that demands an answer

Ive seen many threads on this and all remain unanswered.

Why does an image box lose its transparency on a transparent usercontrol, and how can I get around it? Ive tried PaintPicture directly to the form but that doesnt seem to work for i still get a chunk of grey around the triangle i draw...

So if nobody knows how to fix the image box transparency, does anyone know how i can draw a white triangle on a transparent control?

regions and picture box!...i think...this is horrible, its taking me forever to figure this out! haha

Every transarent image simply cotains a value stored in it which says which color is to be kept transparent. Its upto the program displayig the image to show it transparently. When you load an image on a form or a usercontrol, it has no method to implement the transparency. Therefore it shows you the defualt background color.
The only way remains is to use regions.
