Syntax

expression.TransparencyColor

expression A variable that represents a PictureFormat object.

Remarks

If you want to be able to see through the transparent parts of the picture all the way to the objects behind the picture, you must set the Visible property of the picture's FillFormat object to False. If your picture has a transparent color and the Visible property of the picture's FillFormat object is set to True, the picture's fill will be visible through the transparent color, but objects behind the picture will be obscured.

Example
