Maybe this will help. How to Use Transparent Images and Labels in Windows Forms[^] Vitaliy Tsvayer Tikle

Great, now you've asked a question and it looks like you've got spelling mastered. If you haven't read Christian's article do so. The basic premise is that you must know the transparancy colour. Will the blocks always move on just on plane or can they move on both? You need to identify each block of image and move it enmase. Otherwise you will not know if you're going left/right or up/down. Have a go and see where it's going wrong. Then come back and ask for some help at the next stage. Unfortunately, without knowing the method you are trying to employ it is rather difficult to help just yet. Now read Christian's article (he's v. clever) then have a go at a solution. If you get, come back and ask for some help where you are not sure. And have a Gin'n'Tonic, that helps as well. ;) Panic, Chaos, Destruction. My work here is done.

Enjoy[^] :) I are troll :)

A Panel is a simple container, it is like a whiteboard with size, location, backcolor, etc. but it does not do anything; you have to load the images yourself and paint what you want to see. IMO Panel gets sufficiently explained in MSDN. :) Luc Pattyn [Forum Guidelines] [My Articles] Fixturized forever. :confused:

Thnk you for replying..... i was successfully able to handle the problem that i was facing
