	You must say before, that you load it from file :) Here some source you can use: HBITMAP hBitmap = CXTPImageManagerIcon::LoadAlphaIcon(Path, 0); if (hBitmap) { SetIcon(hBitmap, Command, 0, (XTPImageState)imageState); DeleteObject(hBitmap); } else { HICON hIcon = (HICON)LoadImage(0, Path, IMAGE_ICON, 0, 0, LR_CREATEDIBSECTION \| LR_LOADFROMFILE); if (!hIcon) return; SetIcon(hIcon, Command, 0, (XTPImageState)imageState); DestroyIcon(hIcon); }

	Hi Oleg, I have the latest 9.70. I admit I did not explain well the "super.ico" example, it is the user that chooses the icon file not me. so I'm not able to insert it in the resource, because I do not know which icon to insert...I have to load it at runtime with LoadImage. But what I don't understand is that some controls kind of like imagelist while some others don't. Why diferent behaviours ? If one control knows how to display XP icons loaded with LoadImage and then inserted in ILC_COLOR32 image list, why some others do not ? In the screenshot I send, you can see that TabControl, DockManager, and TaskPanel display the icon correctly while ToolBar and Shortcut bar don't. Since I do not have this problem with Alpha bitmaps, what I really need is something like this... HICON h; AlphaBitmap bitmap; bitmap = ConvertIcon2AlphaBitmap( h ); Is there a function like this in the toolkit ? Andr�

	What version do you have? If 9.70 use CXTPImageManager::SetIcon(nIDResourceIcon, nIDCommand) method to add alpha icon supported for all OS. Anyway check attached converted Alpha bitmap 2005-08-31_141650_super.zip Add it using SetIcons(nIDResourceBitmap, pCommands, nCount);

	Hello, Are you sure your alpha bitmap is valid? As you can see ShortcutBar sample show Alpha bitmaps without problem. I suggest you don't use CImagList with alpha images because it supoprted only by WinXP, but to add directly alpha bitmap to image manager. CXTPImaegManager::SetIcons(IDB_BITMAP,...) it supports alpha images for all OS.

	Hi, Why do some controls implement the function SetImageList and some others do not ? How can I show XP icons in CXTPToolbar and CXTShortcutBar using the CImageList that I use in other controls like CXTPTabControl ? Thank You CImageList il; // create image list with XP icons // // This works OK CXTPTabControl.SetImageList( &il ); CXTPTaskPanel::SetImageList( &il ); // This shows a gray rectangle instead of the alpha layer... CXTPToolBar::GetImageManager()->SetIcons( il, 0, 0, 0, xtpImageNormal); CXTPShortcutBar::GetPaintManager()->SetIcons( il, 0, 0, 0, xtpImageNormal );
