Hi guys,
Here's a tougher one:
Can you put two PictureBox one on another, and make the upper one transparent, so that you can see the image on the lower one, but when you paint (say a line) on the upper one, it is visible
(I set the upper one's background color to Transparent, but it doesn't work, even when using
"SetStyle(ControlStyles.SupportsTransparentBackCol or,true);"...)

In regards to using 2 picture boxes, I don't think you can achieve this type of functionality. (I may be wrong)

I am curious though, why would you need to do this? It is quite possible to load your lower image into memory and then "draw" on top of it without changing the physcial image file. Will this not work in your situation?

Hi, thanks for replying:)

Well, i want to create a new (and different) image based on many locations in the other image.. sort of like you'd put a half-transparant paper on an image to copy some of it..

Is this to be done in-code or decided based up user input?

User input of course, as I'd like him to SEE what's behind and draw according to it..;)

If i had to do this, I would use GDI+ (The System.Drawing namespace) to do this. I would use the original image as the base image and then create an in memory bitmap with a transparent background and actually draw on that bitmap.

Good GDI+ Tutorials are far and few between and, at the moment, I don't have any links readily available. Start snooping around google. ^^
