transparent forms (like we need another one of these)

[bpayne111]

i decided i just HAD to make this one image transparent on the outside and and fade away before loading the main form for this program.

 

yea yea i know we've seen enough of these posts around here (i tried searching first)

 

so i get my form to be transparent finally by using a transparent gif as the background image on a form with no border and NO transparent key.

When the form fading is added "this.Opacity-=.02;" the image gets a black box around it and is no longer transparent althoguh it does still fade away.

 

i've tried all sorts of little techniques even this.PleaseStayTransparentPlease;

 

any pointers to a thread i missed or just some a good tip would be nice.

 

thanks,

brandon
