Here's da easy way to do it.

Youse first needs to put da background in a Picture control. Select da Picture control and then put an Image control over it.

Use a transparent GIF and put it in to the Image control and, "Voila!", youse got yerself a image with its background.

HTH.

I don't know how helpful this is, but a .png file also has the ability to be transparent...

I'm pretty sure that you aren't allowed to put a GIF into a picture box, and I'm really sure that you can't put a PNG.

Even if loading a GIF did work, it would be very slow.

A faster and more efficient way to create a transparent image is through a technique called masking. It can get kind of confusing, so I wrapped it all up into a function for you. YOu can find this function by visiting http://www.planet-source-code.com and searching for "TransBitBlt" Basically, to use this function, you create your image as a BMP (or JPG) and make the areas that you want transparent Black. Anything that is black on your image will apppear transparent.

I meant a .bmp file in the Picture control and a .gif file in the Image control.
