Getting rid of image canvas in VB

[matthew13l]

I'm writing a program right now, and I'm wondering how to get the white background to dissapear from the images I load into my VB program. I've used Windows Paint and Paint Shop Pro and made my images's canvas transparent in Paint Shop, but how do I make it transparent once I load it into VB? :confused:

Thanks

Make sure you're saving the image in a file format that actually supports transparency, like GIF. I'm not too sure if older versions of VB support transparent bitmaps, but if you're using 5+ you should be OK :t
