Need simple example of custom icon buttons

Message Topic Search Topic Options Post Reply Create New Topic Printable Version Translate Topic

   I am new to Toolkit Pro.  I need a simple example to show how to create and display a button formed by an icon defined by a bitmap with transparancy, so the dialog background can display around the irregular icon shape.  I want the bitmap to define the shape of the button, not just to display within a rectangular button.

Ideally, I would like to be able to do this both with BMP bitmaps having a defined transparence color and also from PNG images with transparency defined by the Alpha channel.

This sounds like something that is done all the time, but I can't find a sample of code to do it.

Thank you for your help.
