Picture1.ZOrder = -1 (i think)<br />

Let me make it clear what I want to do:<br />
<br />
I have a file called House.bmp. It has a blue background. On top of the background, there is a house.<br />
<br />
I also have a file called School.bmp. It also has a blue background. On top of the background, there is a school.<br />
<br />
There are two Picture Boxes.<br />
One is Pic1, The other Pic2.<br />
They contain the two pictures.<br />
Pic2 partly overlaps Pic1.<br />
I want the blue part of the image to be transparent, so that I can see part of the image behind it.

Transparent PictureBoxes

Visual Basic is Microsoft’s event-driven programming language and integrated development environment (IDE) for its Component Object Model (COM) programming model. It is relatively easy to learn and use because of its graphical development features and BASIC heritage. It has been replaced with VB.NET, and is very similar to VBA (Visual Basic for Applications), the programming language for the Microsoft Office product line.
