How do I create an alpha HICON from XTPImageManager()? This yields an ugly (no alpha) icon:

CXTPImageManagerIcon *pIcon = XTPImageManager()->GetImage(ID_ICON, 32);

if (pIcon)

{

CXTPImageManagerIconHandle iconHandle = pIcon->GetIcon();

iconCopy.CopyHandle(iconHandle);

iconCopy = CXTPTransparentBitmap(iconCopy.GetBitmap()).ConvertToIcon(); // Alpha is lost!

}

Hi,

You can put it to CImageList with COLOR_32 mode and extract as icon. But it will work in WindowsXP+

Good idea. However, I solved it by making my own function. Quite tricky...

I'd expect XTP to provide such a function. (If I recall correctly, in previous versions you simply called GetIcon...)
