Alpha colors in controls

Hi!

We are trying to use icons (.ico/.png) with alpha colors in VB6.

We are using the Pushbutton control, and the ImageManager control.

Code:

Set cmdSupport.Picture = ImageManager1.Icons.GetImage(1, 48).CreatePicture(xtpImageNormal)

The picture on the PushButton will be the icon, but with a black background instead on a transparent. The same thing with both .ico and .png files.

We know that the .ico file is working since we have tested it on the Windows 7 desktop. And the ImageManager shows them with transparent background.

It works with 24 bit icons, but not with alpha.

Is this supposed to work ? And will alpha work on the commandbar ?

We are using version 12.0.1 and upgrading the control is NOT an option.

Please help,
David
