Yes there is a way i found this transparent picturebox control a while ago and have been using to for years. It is very customizable code but you can add more functions to it if you need too. It is a User Control. See attached.

when you load a picture do this:
VB Code:
set TransPicBox1.picture = loadpicture("C:\mypic.bmp")
Remember to set the maskcolor to the transparent part. Like if your image has a white backround and you want that transparent make the maskcolor white.
