Transparent gif

[Jim Richards]

Need some help Please.

When I use the transparant gif ( HiLite.gif ) in a PictureBox Control, it
covers everything that is behind the rectangle, It is not
transparant at all. It needs to show the name of the county in Texas that
the user is trying to locate.

It worked just fine in VB6 using the Image Control, but NOT in VB ,Net where
there is no Image Control.

Why doesn't the transparent gif work in VB .Net using the Picture Control.

Any help will be greatly appreciated, Jim

Is the background color set to Transparent?

Can you attach your gif so we can try it out?

IIRC, being 'transparent' just means it will show the background color
of the picture box, it will not show what is behind the picturebox.

Thanks,

I think it may be just the "ORDER" of your objects.

Im assuming you have a picturebox, and then you have something like a Label or something
within that picture.

Change the "order" of the object. Click on your picture and "SEND TO BACK".
That way the picture will always be behind the Textbox in front.
You can do this by "Right Clicking" on the picture. It should be the 2nd and 3rd option down.

Sorry, i originally misunderstood what you had.
