gif image

[farah]

Hi everyone,

Help!!!!!!!!!!!
I am dragging the image control in visual basic 6 and put it in the form and tried to set it to transparent but I coud not find the right property to do this. Also I tried it with the picture control and could not. Can someone help or give a hint in how to make the image or picture control transparent (I mean you can see other buttons or texts through the image but can not click on the buttons and textboxes). Thanks for any hint or help.

Can someone send me a transparent gif file. I do not have a software to create a gif file. Thanks

To makes GIF's go to http://www.tgs.com and download 3Space ClipArtist

To make an Picture transparent, make sure the background of the picture is black and use BitBlt to copy all but black so it will be transparent.

I don't think you can put an image control above a text box or combo control.

As for transparent in image, you can just simply put GIF picture with transparent index. Use Photoshop to create your image and then export it as GIF and select your transparent index color. Then open it in VB like how you open picture using Image control.

But Photoshop is pretty expensive for the average Joe. Clipartist can be downloaded for free.
