Make ListBox background an image or make background transparent?

Is there any way I can use the standard listbox and use some sort of bitblt or gdi stuff (i know nothing about those graphical functions) to put an image in the background of the listbox or if that's not possible if i could even make the background transparent and have the picture set as the form's picture?

Thanks in advance!

Try subclassing the listbox. At www.vbaccelerator.com you can find similer examples, like changing the background of a textbox etc..
