From: Bart Steur on 11 Oct 2005 03:35 The image underneath (lower in z-order) is a Kodak Image Control. It contains a Multi Image TIFF. I place highlights (annotations) on the tiff image. The highlights mark some textparts that need to be typed into the textbox(es) in the TRANSPARENT picturebox control. All I want to know, can you make a picturebox transparent. I've tried the way you can you to make a Form transparent (using SetLayeredWindowAttributes), but that doesn't work for a Picturebox. Anyone?
