    That is an alpha-channel or transparency property.For old VB, you have to use the GDI classes.

    I use Visual Basic 2008 express, but I don’t think it would be different. Set the background color of the form to an easy to remember color. Like red or blue. you decide. then you change the TransparencyKey in the properties of the form to the same color that you chose. This will make that all part’s of the form that are that color will be transparent. So if you have a button with an red icon you will use then blue, green or an other color. it is very sensitive. so do not choose a custom color, better use the system color’s or the web color’s. It is perfect for making an irregular form or to make a hole in the form.
