Hi guys,

I working on a chess program and Iam now inserting the images for each stone to the form, the problem Iam facing is that I want the Image only to occupy the area of its perimeter without the white (or otherwise) background that accompanies the square area which includes the image. In short, I want the image background to be transparent, this is not possible in bmp jpeg gif, but it is possible in PNG. But the problem is that I only know how to load bmp jpeg and gif in to the Borland Builder 5.
Any help on how to load a PNG image on the form is appreciated, or any other method to do what I need.
