Transparency doesn´t work.

[Fuga]

Hi,

I have a form, which has the background color set to the transparency key color. On the form there is a picturebox with transparent backcolor and a picture that is semi transparent.

Unfortunately the transparency doesn´t work. The form shows with a background, but not the background color I chose, but the gray control color. Nothing is transparent.

The EXACT same thing works with another form. Does anyone know whats going on?

Down the bottom of the form properties you will see a property called "Transparency" Set this to the colour you want to become transparent. Then set your forms background colour to this colour also.

Voila! Transparency achieved

Thanks for your reply.

But the thing is I´ve done just that, and it doesn´t work. On the other form, yes, but on this one, no.

Any ideas?

Can you create a new form, copy the code and control over and delete the old form?
See if the new forms works?

Hi again,

sorry for the delay and thanks for your help. But unfortunately it doesn´t work, even though I tried to create a new form with the same name, and also with a different name. When renaming it at least the transparency key color is showing. Not transparent though.

Anyone else had this problem?
