I've been attempting for a while to get a transparent PNG image placed onto the codejock pushbutton control without much success.

I get the nasty grey background where the image has been placed. The typical code I'm using is the following:

control.Picture = System.Drawing.Image.FromStream(GetResource("pretty_png.png"))

This doesn't seem to import the image correctly as the stock Windows Forms button does.

Is there something I'm missing? I've checked the help and I've searched the forums and found references to LoadBitmapFromResource and various other items, but these examples all seem to be non VB.NET related and I'm having a hard time breaking it down from the C++, etc code that's shown.

Thanks in advance for any help.

Hi,

This code works for me:

Stream imageStream = assembly.GetManifestResourceStream("WindowsApplication5.AlphaHelp.png");

Bitmap bmp = new Bitmap(imageStream);

XtremeSuiteControls.SuiteControlsGlobalSettings gs = new XtremeSuiteControls.SuiteControlsGlobalSettings();

gs.Icons.AddBitmap(bmp.GetHbitmap().ToInt32(), 1, XtremeSuiteControls.XTPImageState.xtpImageNormal, true);

axPushButton1.Icon = gs.Icons.GetImage(1, 0);
