    form image

    hey all,

    i have an image that i want to put on my form and was just wondering if
    there is a way to take away the white background on the image (make it
    transparent)?

    thanks,
    rodchar

      Call the 'Bitmap' object's 'MakeTransparen t' method.

              Can you be more specific about what you want to do? If you want a picture
              to completely fill the form, it's better to use the BackGround image of the
              form. If you just want it on part of the form, a picturebox is fine - there
              are several other options such as panels also.

              If you do place an image in a picturebox or other container control, you
              will need to make both the image and the container transparent, or set the
              backcolor of the container to the same backcolor as the form, otherwise
              you'll end up with the image transparent and showing the color of the
              picturebox it's on.

                  picturebox it's on.
                  this is what i'm trying to do. however, how do i make the image's background
                  transparent?
