Transparent picture background
I want to display a picture with a transparent background in an image
control on a form. The picture is very simple and I have just drawn it in Paint with the Image/Draw Opaque option unchecked. I have tried saving in various file formats (.bmp, .jpg, .gif) but always the background appears white. I also tried with Photoshop without success (although I don't really know what I'm doing with that program). I have seen various posts around this topic - some which say API calls are required, others which say you need to set a picture mask, and others which suggest a decent picture editor will do the trick (but no examples). Can anyone shed any light on this for me? (I am using XL2000) Thanks, Andrew |

I use Microsoft Photo Editor, change the background colour to Transparent and
save the file as a gif. This works in XL2002 " wrote: I want to display a picture with a transparent background in an image control on a form.
