Does the CommandBars.Icons.LoadBitmap  method apply a mask on the loadded bitmap?
 
I am loading several BMP files with background color however when I use the code below to draw the icon, the background is missing.
 
Set Icon = CommandBars.Icons.GetImage(Item.ID, 32)
Icon.Draw HDC, X + 5, Y + 5, 32, 32, xtpImageNormal

Hi,
Is there any way I can force it not to apply the mask?
These bmps are non-transparent and being loaded into a gallery.

Hello,
 
Set MaskColor to some value before you load them.
 
CommandBars.Icons.MaskColor = vbRed

How can I load my bitmaps without using any MaskColor at all? I don't want to loose any color on the bitmap.

I did not find a property like UseMaskColor on the ImageManager.Icons.

Thanks in advance.

Hi Oleg!

I tested it and it is the same as if the value does not have the 0xff000000 part.

eg. 0x1000000 gives me equal results as 0x00

Also with pictures that does have less than 24 bits per pixel (not RGB), as some GIFs, the mask applies to black (0x00) color.

My code is like this: 

  ImageManager1.Icons.MaskColor = GetRGBColor(UserControl.BackColor)  '&H1000000 '&H1000001 'False '0

  ImageManager1.Icons.AddBitmap Img.Handle, 100 + Index, xtpImageNormal, False

  Set imImage = ImageManager1.Icons.GetImage(100 + Index, 0)

Happy Holidays!

Hello Krog and indice.

Typically, I prefer to use .png files as icons rather than the usual bitmap because they support higher color bit and built in transparancies.
If you would like to see an example code let me know. ;]

Hi Donald!

I sometimes use png files for icons too, when the icon has only one image size.

But in this case I am using the ImageManager as a intermediate control to show larger images on markup controls. And the user can select any image from its computer.

And in this case the masking is not desired.

Thanks!

Different sizes should be a problem with the seticonsize method. But that too is a great work around. Thanks
