Transparent PictureBox Animation Control ($15)
The BurdickSoft Transpic Control is a Visual Basic developed ActiveX component that dramatically improves the ease of animating and manipulating transparent bitmaps. It works just like the standard Visual Basic PictureBox control except that it allows pictures to be displayed transparently and also contains several animation methods. The user does not have to create transparent masks to use this control. Instead, a mask color is specified which automatically converts the picture to a transparent bitmap. Transpic works with any Visual Basic recognized bitmap type including .bmp, .dib .gif, .jpg, and .wmf files. In addition, Transpic contains several animation methods to create dazzling visual effects including dissolves and wipes.  Best of all, it contains methods for flicker-free, transparent animation moves.  A great tool for anyone needing to add bitmap animation to their VB programs.
