Hello everyone! Thank you for your time and interest in reading my post.

I have a problem. I want to try an simulate a fake lighting system in Visual Basic 2010 by using 2 images. One is Form1's background, and the other is Picturebox2's image. Picturebox2's image is a black background with a transparent circle in the middle. The only problem is, when transparent, it shows the background of the form, and looks right through the background image. How could I get around this so that the transparent part of the image is Form1's background image, and not the backcolor?

Sorry if that's confusing; I can elaborate more if needed.

Thanks!
