I have an animated gif which I would like (It's a fancy animated gif) displayed over my form when a process is being executed. I cannot get the gif to show the underlying controls through it's transparent parts. I've tried using a picturebox but I don't think this can be set to transparent (It's background can, but not the actual object). This results in a grey square with the transparent animated gif showing only the underlying grey picturebox.
[code] how to make the part that drops down semi-transparent or completely transparent resembling floating text. So that I can see the form underneath.
Question:Is it possible to make a userform transparent but have non-transparent controls?I notice changing the opacity of the userform will change the opacity of controls embedded on it.
I'm trying to draw a semi-transparent layer over my entire form when certain events occur, with a prompt in front of this semi-transparent layer (similar to the effect in Windows Vista/7 with UAC enabled)At first I was trying to use a custom semi-transparent panel, but this didn't seem to work at all. As such I'm now trying to use a child form within the form using the opacity property on the form. However, when this semi-transparent form is added to the controls of the main form and displayed, it loses it's transparency.I've got a hacky work around at the moment where the semi-transparent layer isn't actually a component within the main form, and the transparency works then, but obviously this isn't ideal and could potentially cause various issues further down the line.
my problem is simple i'm using VB 2010 and i'm trying to make a transparent images but without success i draw 2 GIF pictures in Photoshop and save it as transparent i put that GIF's in 2 pictureboxes on the form and the background of the pictures is really transparent, but when i try to put one picture in the top of the other one, the first picture cover the second one with the background color (and becuase it's transparent it's like the form color)?

One last hangup with an application and I've tried like heck to research this but no luck.When I do a button click on my open file, it brings up a sub with all the open file code same for my save file and everything works perfectly.If, the open file dialog is on the screen and you should click either cancel or close I get the following argument exception unhandled, (and I've pasted all the details).It throws the exception at the very first line where textbox1 gets it's backcolor(txc(0)) is the variable in my.settings
If I open ANY file I have saved by clicking OK, all goes perfectly, it loads the file and I don't get the exception.I only get it when I click off the open file dialog with cancel or X.

I searched the forums and most of the topics involving this seem to be for Compact Framework. I need a transparent text label which shows an object directly beneath it. In this case, a rectangle. (Visual Studio 2010) I noticed that when I set the label background to transparent it shows the form bg instead of anything between the label and the form. How can I work around this without setting my form background to an image? If I were to make a custom control for it, how would that be achieved?
