Transparent Gif (PictureBox) On Top Of Another PictureBox?
Nov 21, 2006
I am trying to do something really simple. I have a small PictureBox control whose image is a GIF file that has some transparency (the white background is the transparent color). When I stick this control on a form, it is indeed transparent, as the color of the form shows where the white used to be. So far so good.
Now, I want to stick my small PictureBox on top of a much larger PictureBox, which is full of different colors. When I do so, the transparent gif no longer works - instead of showing the colors 'behind' the white, it is still showing the color of the form!
In VBA (e.g. MS Excel VBA form, using Image controls) this is trivial - you set the 'backstyle' property to 'transparent', and it works like a charm. But in Visual Studio 2005 I cannot for the life of me figure this out - it should be simple.

I need to plot some analog values read from the serial port.I plot them in a picturebox starting from left. When I reach the end of the control at the right side I shift all values to the left of a point and I plot the new point at the right, (I have some flickering but it could be acceptable). This is my plotting control.My problem is that I have to clear the control (picturebox) in order to plot the shifted graph, but the method Clear of the Graphics class clears everything inside the picturebox, even my grid.How can i make always visible a grid "in" my picturebox?
1.a transparent image with a grid over the PB? (the clear method cannot remove it)
2.an image with a grid below the picturebox that must be with a transparent background to make visible the grid?
3.multiple layers on the same picturebox?

I know that this question has already been asked million of times, but until now I haven't found a WORKING way to make this to work.I've a Media Player control, and in front of it (for a logo thing), I have a PictureBox, that I want to make transparent. I've tried million of things, but couldn't get it to work.

I have a picturebox with a pic in it, and I have a label on top of the picture.
I want the background of the the label to be transparent, so I set it's background prop to transparent and it's parent to the picturebox. I do this on form load, but for some reason the label entirely disappears once the form loads?

I have a small picturebox(34x34 pixels) and want to have a transparent label(maybe 12x12 or 15x15 pixels) in the corner of it, which will be used as a counter.
I saw another forums suggesting adding the PictureBox as a parent to the Label, like this:
Label1.Parent = PictureBox1
Label1.BackColor = Color.Transparent
But then the label just disappears, and no text is displayed.

I'm trying to make an image in a picturebox transparent, so that i can see and click the controls behind it in the transparent area. This reason for this is that i'm trying to make a hexagonal grid that needs each cell to work independantly of each other when clicked, and needs to include a changing image. I'm trying to do this with pictureboxes, but even though i've made the GIF images i'm using transparent in photoshop, They aren't displayed as such in design view or at runtime, as the corners stay grey. I'm making a clone of the Quiz-show Blockbusters

I am trying to use GDI+ to merge two PNG's with transparency that I have stored in an ImageList, and then show this in a PictureBox. My PictureBox size, first image size, and second image size are all the same. I thought this would be simple but the following code does not work and I am not sure why. I have searched but I could not find any code snippets specifically dealing with PictureBoxes.
[code]...
At the moment when I click the button I see the PictureBox flicker with the image for a splitsecond.

I'm working on a UserControl which has two PictureBoxes.One has the picture I want to display to the user and the other has a picture that I use as an overlay.The overlay PictureBox uses a PNG image with a transparent background. However, every time I run the UserControl, the overlay does not display the transparent parts of the PNG image as transparent (It appears white).

From my understanding PictureBox's don't support transparent backgrounds. What I am trying to do is just have a single picture that needs a transparent background just to be on display with my form. So how do I do this?

I have a picturebox that contains an image and the background of that image has been set to transparent and saved as a .gif in photoshop cs2.
I used that image in a picturebox and I set the BackColor of that picturebox to transparent, but it's not transparent; I have a gray background on that picture.

Why is it that I can't seem to make a picturebox transparent? I just can't seem to figure it out, I set the back color to transparent, I even made a color in my image transparent but still no results. I've been able to make the back transparent before.

I'm playing with some new UI for one of my projects. I have created a digital display board in Photoshop and added a Picturebox in my VB project and used that image in it.But what I want to do is, I'll be displaying some text above that image. When I tried placing a LabelBox and setting it's BackColor to Transparent, doesn't work !
The text in the LabelBox will be changing each second. So, what I'm doing is using a Timer control with 1000 as interval and displaying the text.What will be the solution ? Do I have to draw the text on the picturebox on Paint event ?

I started off with a VERY simple form and added a picturebox item to it. The code I was following used a procedure in the Form1.vb to override the transparent color of the image:
bmp.MakeTransparent(Color.Fuchsia)
bmp was defined in the Form's "Load" section.
Now things are different. I have more than 20 picturebox items now, each created in the Form1.Designer.vb code as follows:
Me.Tile020.Image = CType(resources.GetObject("Tile020.Image"), System.Drawing.Image)
Me.Tile020.Location = New System.Drawing.Point(922, 297)
Me.Tile020.Name = "Tile020"
Me.Tile020.Size = New System.Drawing.Size(64, 64)
Me.Tile020.TabIndex = 3
Me.Tile020.TabStop = False
The image is referenced from the resources. When I run the program, I'd like all these images to have their backgrounds transparent. None of these controls is currently referenced anywhere in the code at present. What's the best way to get them to display transparently, other than recreating them as transparent .PNG's?

I've already set their BackColor property to Transparent, but when I place one on top of the other one, the following happens: [URL].

I'm having problems making an image properly "transparent"
Dim x As Integer
Dim y As Integer
Private Sub PictureBox1_Click(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles PictureBox1.Click
[Code] .....
The initial image is Transparent, however, once you create another image very close to it, there is a "box" around it. That "box" is what I am trying to get rid of. I have no clue on how to get rid of it. Yes, I have made the image itself, transparent, as the initial image is transparent. Just any image that makes contact with the other images show the "box".
