I'm using VB.NET 2003 and I want to use gif files with transparency on a form. I'm trying to layer it on top of another picture box. If I use a new image box, the background of the gif is transparent, but it shows the grey or beige background of the picture box. I want it to just layer on top of the image under it. I've tried the transparent color in web colors and it doesn't work. I've tried changing it to that form's transparency color, but the I just see the stuff under the form. Any suggestions? Please help. Do I have to use GDI+?
