Galen,

I tried calling MS for some help and their _mini_ help said some stuff that
might help with your situation...  basically they say to create a control 
that isn't visible, then create two pictures, one for the up position and
one for the down position... When the user clicks on your picture they're
in effect clicking on your control... the control would decide which picture
to put based on an XOR  (sample app in the manual for a mail box with the
flag going up then down..)  

For your transparency you should be able to use one of the drawing settings
to accomplish this affect ??  I haven't messed with this yet... but I'd 
appreciate hearing how it goes.  Especially if you come up with a transparent
background icon editor !-)

TIA.

Hope this helps...
