Transparent BackGroundI am having difficult time drawing a image using Visual Studio Image Editor.
I can draw the image and save it as .bmp file load it into a pictureBox image but when the program is run the background of the bmp is not Transparent. How can I achieve a transparent background? Thanks tb The bitmap format has no alpha, therefore no transparency. You should try a
gif, tiff, or icon. -- Thiele Enterprises - The Power Is In Your Hands Now! -- "vbt" <tb***@cwnet.com> wrote in message I am having difficult time drawing a image using Visual Studio Image Editor.news:eTIop6J9GHA.3384@TK2MSFTNGP05.phx.gbl...

Does Visual Studio save
bitmaps in 32 bit format. How do you convert another format to 32bit format? -- Show quoteHide quoteDennis in Houston "Smokey Grindel" wrote: > 32bit bitmaps actually do have alpha > > "Ryan S.

success ..gif, .tiff. and .icon What program would I use to draw a 32 bitmap? This drawing will be loaded into a pictureBox. Is this the correct control for these image types? vbt Do you have the background of the picturebox set to transparent?

property. I belive the Background doesn't support transparency. But placing the image into the image property. it will have transparency.

With the .png images, they only seem to work properly when loaded into a picture box from a resource at runtime. In Design, there is usually no transparency (which may change with SP1) and usually no transparency at runtime if loaded in Design. Gene Gene, I have tried loading the image using Application.StartupPath & "\" &
myFileName. The image loads just fine but still no transparent background. vbt On Sun, 22 Oct 2006 07:45:06 -0700, "vbt" <tb***@cwnet.com> wrote: It sounds like the image you are trying to use is not a proper 32 bit image with a>Gene, I have tried loading the image using Application.StartupPath & "\" & >myFileName. >The image loads just fine but still no transparent background. > >vbt > transparent background versus a 24 or 32 bit image with a non-transparent background. This has nothing to do with transparent key color by the way. Gene
