16bit desktop color + alpha icons??

None of the functions fail, but none of the icons display, they are all blank, if the desktop color is set to 16bit.
It also spews out a lot of junk like:
Failed -- Memory exception thrown.Failed -- Memory exception thrown.Failed -- Memory exception thrown.Failed -- Memory exception thrown.Failed -- Memory exception thrown.Failed -- Memory exception thrown.Failed -- Memory exception thrown.Failed -- Memory exception thrown.First-chance exception in Test.exe (KERNEL32.DLL): 0xE06D7363: Microsoft C++ Exception.

Everything works fine in 32bit color mode though.


I tried XTPImageManager()->SetIcons(IDR_ALPHA_ICONS, nIDMenuBarI cons, _countof(nIDMenuBarIcons), CSize(16, 16), xtpImageNormal) and also:
CBitmap &bmAlphaIcons = *CBitmap::FromHandle((HBITMAP)::LoadImage(AfxGetApp()-> ;m_hInstance, MAKEINTRESOURCE(IDR_ALPHA_ICONS), IMAGE_BITMAP, 0, 0, LR_CREATEDIBSECTION));
XTPImageManager()->SetIcons(bmAlphaIcons, nIDMenuBarIcons, _countof(nIDMenuBarIcons), CSize(16, 16), xtpImageNormal, XTPImageManager()->IsAlphaIconsSupported ())

but both get the same results.

It was fixed. Write me and I'll send you fixed files.

I got this update (pays to be on the yearly support contract, doesn't it ) - it works nice. Thanks again!

Hi,

I just purchased the software and I have several questions.

1. Does the alpha icons work on other operating systems besides WinXP?

2. Does the video mode have to be set at 32 bits for the alpha icons to work? 

3. Is there any documentation/samples on how to use CXTPImageManager?  It seems to be missing from the help files.

4.  Lastly, where can I get a fix for this?

Thanks.

You must be new around here....

Yeah, I just started using this tookit.  So how long does it take to get an update patch around here?

Email support is pretty good. Typical response time is 1-2 days for an initial enquiry. Forum support is patchy at best. Documentation is, beyond a shadow of a doubt, utterly appalling and really completely inexcusable. I've heard they are re-writing it, but I don't know when we'll see the fruits of those labours. The example code is good, but it really takes some getting into.
