I am trying to use 3 or more images on top of each other (the top two being transparent). As I understand, the Picture box can only take two at any given time (counting the background). I then tried to load them into a panel (not using a picture box), with the hope of using the automatic scrollbar option. I was able to load the images perfectly but cannot get the scrolling option to work. I was loading the images in the panels on paint sub. The images are large and will require scrolling.

Here is an extract of the code:

wBmpWidth = Panel1.Width

wBmpHeight = Panel1.Height

bmp = Bitmap.FromFile("C:\Documents and Settings\Admin\My Documents\My Pictures\TransparentPic.bmp")

bmp.MakeTransparent(Color.White)

bmp2 = Bitmap.FromFile("C:\Documents and Settings\Admin\My Documents\My Pictures\TransparentPic2.bmp")

bmp2.MakeTransparent(Color.White)

bmp3 = Bitmap.FromFile("C:\Documents and Settings\Admin\My Documents\My Pictures\TransparentPic3.bmp")

bmp3.MakeTransparent(Color.White)

g = e.Graphics

g.DrawImage(bmp, 0, 0)

g.DrawImageUnscaled(bmp2, 0, 0)
