Transparent Gifs

I'm trying to get some gifs I have to show in a picture box, and have them transparent... But for some reason they still have a white background. Anyone have any tips on how to get the background to be transparent It shows on the form transparent, but now when I run it :/

Thanks in advanced!

    Test using a picturebox with IMAGE equaling a blue and white picture.

    Picturebox BACKGROUND IMAGE set to NONE.

    Form (not picturebox,) transparency key property set to blue.

    Made the blue part of the picturebox completely transparent in the test I just tryed.

    Well, I made the gifs in paint shop pro 8... And when I saved it, it had asked me what color I wanted to be transparent, and I choose white. When you are viewing the image in the picuture box in the forum editor you see the controls color on the gifs background, but at runtime the background is white :/ And the reason why it matters is beause this image represents the player on a mini-map...

    I've been looking around for solutions and have yet to find a answer that actually works :/

    Do you have your picturebox backcolor set to transparent

    I was having the same problem and that cured it.

    Hmm well I just noticed something, it seems to show the controls color under the mini-map.. its weird cause it acts like the mini-map picture box isn't even there :/ Anyway I can get it to be transparent to the picture box that its on

    fill the wanted (transparent) background with like LIME...

    Then in the picture box properties, there should be a property for

    making a color transparent. And choose LIME

    It should make all color LIME transparent in the picturebox

    Try this....

    Put the image in an imagelist control and set it's transperancy color to white and see if that helps any.



  • onlywizkid

    Depending on who made the gifs and how they were made....

    If all layers were merged.. you'll get a white background. In photoshop you have to be careful to say... Merge only the visible layers" of the result will be a loss of transparency.
