Layers of Images

[VB-Sultan]

Hi..

i want to move two layers of images (like photoshop) above each other..

for example.. suppose i have two images, one is circle and the other is square, both images background color is transparent, i want to allow the user to move these to images above each other freely..


how to do it??
do i need just 2 pictureboxs?? and how to drag them??


thanks..

eeh I've done that before umm what I did was that I drew the two shapes in one picturebox. Each shape had an object associated with it which held the drawing region in a variable (you need to know this for hit testing). when the user clicks on the picturebox, you just have to go through all the shapes that you have and do a hit test on all of them.
say you have a GraphicsPath object called p that represents your circle. Then to do a simple hit test you would just call p.IsVisible (adjustedMouseX, adjustedMouseY). The first shape that succeeds the hit test was the one clicked (then you have to have the shapes in order in an array or something to make sure you get to hit-test the top-most shape first)
eeh kinda gives you the idea, but I know I'm saying it really vague and incompletely
