Q: GIF image on a form

Hi

I have a form on which I have a picture box. I have placed a GIF as the
image for this picture box. The GIF has a transparent background.

If I change the background color of the form, then the GIF appears on the
form correctly i.e. the background of the form shows through the transparent
part of the gif.

However, if I place a BackgroundImage on the form, the transparent part of
the form does not show the BackgroundImage of the form, rather is shows the
back color of the form. This obviously make the GIF not to be "transparent".

Can anybody help?

Thanks

G
