I am some having problems with a custom icon and controling the size of the
child form.  I have included a custom icon on my main form and it displays
fine at design time, but is shown with a dark background at run time.  The
icon is displayied properly on windows explorer and even at design time on
the ide.  Does anybody know why this might be happening? Is there a way of
setting a transparent color on an icon file?  I want to display the child
form within client size of the parent without any scroll bars. I have a
status bar on the parent.  I set the initial size by using the clientsize -
some number and it works fine. However, when the user max or resize the child
form all hell break loose.  Is there a way to contain the child form within
the parent without scroll bars?
