How do you use 32-bit Alpha icons with the Command Bars Designer Studio (ActiveX 8.60)? I have tried using the 'Load From File' button on the Icon Editor, but it is not opening ICO files (so far, I got it to open a BMP file, but I would think it should be able to open an ICO file since part of the application deals with icons). If I can't open a 32-bit Alpha icon file, how do I specify the alpha portion of the icon? |

1. It must work without problem.
2. Designer's image editor can't work with Alpha icons and can load only bitmap (.bmp) files. |

At any point do you plan to add support for ICO files? It is very tiring to constantly "erase" the areas of the bitmap that should be transparent in the icon. Also, if Bitmap files are the only supported file type, it would be beneficial to populate the file type filter on the Open dialog. This would help to self-document to end users that ICO and other file types are not supported. Thank you for the follow-up. |

Yes we plan to add support ico and alpha icons. Now we add filter "Bitmap files(*.bmp)" in this dialog.
