Is it possible to use a PNG with CXTButton instead of a bmp or ico? For example, in the Button Sample project, replace the bmps with pngs.

If so, which member fn should I call, or do I need to convert the png to bmp?

Hi,

Add Png file ro resources, load it

BOOL bAlphaBitmap = FALSE;
HBITMAP hBitmap = CXTPImageManagerIcon::LoadBitmapFromResource(MAKEINTRESOURCE(nID), &bAlphaBitmap);

CXTPImageManagerIconHandle hIconHandle;

hIconHandle = hBitmap; // Will call DeleteObject;

and call

btn.SetIcon(size, hIconHandle, CXTPImageManagerIconHandle(), TRUE);

That shows the png alright, but it looses the skinning of the button???

So I guess the only possible solution is to derive a button call CButton::OnPaint(); and then draw your own png right?

A bit a pity though, as I would expect such an expensive tool to do that for me...
