Transparent Pictureboxes
-
I have a class called "Card" (as in a deck of cards), which extends the PictureBox class. Now the picturebox is the size of the image (150X215). When you mouse over the card it "hovers" (its Y location decreases 20 pixels) and is supposed to show part of the card underneath it. However this does not happen. See this picture: http://img199.imageshack.us/i/cardsj.jpg/[^] I've done this in the OnLoad event of the Card class: this.SetStyle(ControlStyles.SupportsTransparentBackColor, true); this.BackColor = Color.Transparent; But it doesn't work (as you can see in the picture). I found this article: http://www.codeproject.com/combobox/TransListBox.asp[^] But how do I do this in C#? BTW the images are transparent png's.

Using pictureboxes for this, is a little insane. Just draw your cards onto your form in your paint event.

I've changed it from PictureBox to Panel and added this:
protected override void OnPaint(PaintEventArgs pe)
{
base.OnPaint(pe);pe.Graphics.DrawImage(this.card\_image, new Point(0, 0));}
But it's still not transparent. Do you want to look at my code?
No, I want you to do what I suggested. DON'T put the images inside a control, draw them on your form directly, in your paint event.
