Anyone know of a good way to get 32 bit icons/bitmaps in toolbars / treeviews?

Thanks!

Was having a similar problem...

Try this solution (WinXP only using Studio.NET 2003):

1) Add '.manifest' file to application (see http://www.dotnet247.com/247reference/msgs/11/59317.aspx - http://www.dotnet247.com/247reference/msgs/11/59317.aspx ). This enables WinXP styles in the app.

2) Add an empty ImageList to your form, to be used with your toolbar. Add icons to your ImageList and assign these to your toolbar. The icons will not appear correctly (8 bit alpha will show as 1 bit blackness). This is just so you can preview the icons in the designer.

3) In your code, do the following:

imageList.Images.Clear();

Icon icon = new Icon(fileName);

imageList.Images.Add(icon); // For each icon you are using

Hope this helps...
