This is in reference to: No Transparency on Visual Basic PictureBox
To Visual Vincent; First, I'd like to thank you for sharing your efforts with the community... Thank you very much!
I'm not very good at "Class" building. I've never implemented class modules very efficiently. I understand the principals, but tussle with mapping the properties and events before creation.
Anyway, does this example work in VB6? If so, how?
When I paste your example code into the class module code window, much of the text is red.
You can try my AlphaBlendImage control for VB6 built-in VB.Image control replacement w/ added support for transparency.
It supports both key-color transparency where you choose one color (e.g. magenta) to become transparent and true alpha-channel transparency like in PNG files.
You have to load PNG files with it's GdipLoadPicture function to preserve the alpha-channel transparency still by using built-in StdPicture instances. Take a look at the sample in test/basic directory for more info.
