Hi!
We are trying to use icons (.ico/.png) with alpha colors in VB6.
We are using the Pushbutton control, and the ImageManager control.
Code:
Set cmdSupport.Picture = ImageManager1.Icons.GetImage(1, 48).CreatePicture(xtpImageNormal)
The picture on the PushButton will be the icon, but with a black background instead on a transparent. The same thing with both .ico and .png files.
We know that the .ico file is working since we have tested it on the Windows 7 desktop. And the ImageManager shows them with transparent background.
It works with 24 bit icons, but not with alpha.
Is this supposed to work ? And will alpha work on the commandbar ?
We are using version 12.0.1 and upgrading the control is NOT an option.
Please help,
David

Try this instead:
Set Me.cmdSupport.Icon = ImageManager1.Icons.GetImage(1, 48)

I haven't tested with 12.0.1 though, so I don't know if alpha is supported with that version.
