None of the functions fail, but none of the icons display, they are all blank, if the desktop color is set to 16bit. It also spews out a lot of junk like: Failed -- Memory exception thrown.Failed -- Memory exception thrown.Failed -- Memory exception thrown.Failed -- Memory exception thrown.Failed -- Memory exception thrown.Failed -- Memory exception thrown.Failed -- Memory exception thrown.Failed -- Memory exception thrown.First-chance exception in Test.exe (KERNEL32.DLL): 0xE06D7363: Microsoft C++ Exception.

First-chance exception in Test.exe (KERNEL32.DLL): 0xE06D7363: Microsoft C++ Exception. Everything works fine in 32bit color mode though. I tried XTPImageManager()->SetIcons(IDR_ALPHA_ICONS, nIDMenuBarI cons, _countof(nIDMenuBarIcons), CSize(16, 16), xtpImageNormal) and also: CBitmap &bmAlphaIcons = *CBitmap::FromHandle((HBITMAP)::LoadImage(AfxGetApp()-> ;m_hInstance, MAKEINTRESOURCE(IDR_ALPHA_ICONS), IMAGE_BITMAP, 0, 0, LR_CREATEDIBSECTION)); XTPImageManager()->SetIcons(bmAlphaIcons, nIDMenuBarIcons, _countof(nIDMenuBarIcons), CSize(16, 16), xtpImageNormal, XTPImageManager()->IsAlphaIconsSupported ()) but both get the same results. |

The problem is all the dcSrc.CreateCompatibleDC(NULL); scattered in CXTPImageManagerIcon since NULL is creating a DC compatible with the current screen mode. My video card does not have a 24bit mode, but I suspect that even that would break alpha channel the same as 16bit mode. You probably have to actually be in a 32bit graphics color mode or it will break. Is this going to be fixed in the next version, it seems like a very major bug? Is there any date set yet for the next version? I have a program about ready to be released, but I can't yet since it won't work on anybody's system who is set to 16bit color. |

Hi I'd like this fix too. How do I email you ? Or... email it to me at: ian-at-bevantech.com (yes, I do have a yearly subscription !) |

Hi, I just purchased the software and I have several questions. 1. Does the alpha icons work on other operating systems besides WinXP? 2. Does the video mode have to be set at 32 bits for the alpha icons to work? 3. Is there any documentation/samples on how to use CXTPImageManager? It seems to be missing from the help files. 4. Lastly, where can I get a fix for this? Thanks.

1. for all (for win95 and nt4 you must deliver msimg32.dll) 2. in last release was problem with win2000+16bit mode. the fix will be included in next product release. 3. open XTPImageManager.h and see members :) 4. Please wait next version. ------------- Oleg, Support Team CODEJOCK SOFTWARE SOLUTIONS |

Email support is pretty good. Typical response time is 1-2 days for an initial enquiry. Forum support is patchy at best. Documentation is, beyond a shadow of a doubt, utterly appalling and really completely inexcusable. I've heard they are re-writing it, but I don't know when we'll see the fruits of those labours. The example code is good, but it really takes some getting into.

I still got the problem in 16-bit color depth and 32-bit bitmaps but I found a way to fix it. I hope it will help! CBitmap bmps ;bmps .Attach(LoadImage(AfxGetResourceHandle(), MAKEINTRESOURCE(IDB_TOOLICONS), IMAGE_BITMAP, 0, 0, LR_DEFAULTSIZE | LR_CREATEDIBSECTION));XTPImageManager ()->SetIcons(bmps, GetCommandArray(), GetCommandArraySize(), CSize(16, 16), xtpImageNormal, TRUE); |
