Boris, does Your used FWH-release include TTitle ? If Yes, In the meantime You can have a look at : \samples\Testtitl.prg Maybe You like the first TRANSPARENT BASE sample with border and 3D-text. My extended version : http://www.pflegeplus.com/pictures/Ttitle2.jpg ...

Rick, The used BMP's from Sub-folder 32 x 32 : http://www.pflegeplus.com/pictures/toolbar10.jpg nRGB( 255, 0, 255 ) defines a Image-background. That is the Reason, a Alphachannel is ignored. using : oImageList:Add( TImage():Define( ,c_path + "\Images\Select.bmp", oWnd ) ) A...

Interesting discovery .. just curious why the default icons used in the original sample would not work .. they were taken from the Fwh\Bitmaps folder and were purple background ?

Rick

Rick, with some more Tests, I found what's wrong : TRANSPARENT BMP I repainted a original 24 Bit transparent BMP. http://www.pflegeplus.com/pictures/toolbar8.jpg oImageList = TImageList():New( 32, 32 ) // width and height of bitmaps From Resource ----------------- oImageList:AddMaske...

Anser I am creating and using successfully 24 bit alpha blend icons derived from .png with Gimp photo editor then adding the the .bmp using Resedit to insert them into .rc All I am doing at this point is adding the .rc that contains my icons into my project to be compiled with the standard Borland 5...

Rick,

You can use these BMP-styles as well :

Dear Mr.Rick,

Thanks
Rick

What about the resource compiler used by you ? Does it support Alpha channel ?

Regards

Rick, try adding a BtnBmp to the Toolbar ( see my Screenshot ) lets see what happens. Maybe something with DEFINE IMGBITMAP OF oImageList NAME "new" COLOR nRGB( 255, 0, 255 ) @ 15, 900 BTNBMP oBtn5 OF oToolBar ; SIZE 100, 55 PIXEL ; // Width, Hight NOBORDER ; PROMPT " &Exit" ...

I am using the latest version of FWH 1201 .. your last test with Vtitle and the Animation works with MDI.

I have no clue why the toolbar class is not showing up with transparent icons like yours

Thanks
Rick

Rick, maybe the FWH-release You are using ( could be Changes in Class Toolbar ) ? You can try, if it works with embedded TTitles ( will give You more Options ) ? Testing BtnBmp on Toolbar : http://www.pflegeplus.com/pictures/toolbar4.jpg @ 15, 900 BTNBMP oBtn3 OF oToolBar ; SIZE 100,...

Uwe Thank you for your continued help .. the text is transparent but the Icons are not. I used the first 3 known good alpha bitmaps that I have used in the buttonbar class that are known good transparent icons. I verified last night I get the same results on Xp as I do W7. Rick http://img59....

Rick, another Test ( all Combinations ) using brushed Groups and different TTitles on a Toolbar. http://www.pflegeplus.com/pictures/toolbar3.jpg #include "FiveWin.ch"#include "ttitle.ch"static oToolBar function Main()local oWnd, oImageList, oRadio1, oSay1,...

Rick, can You test, what happens including other Controls and using a BMP-brush. Are they transparent ? Please check the used Image-path ! DEFINE BRUSH oTBrush FILENAME ".\bitmaps\blustone.bmp" http://www.pflegeplus.com/pictures/toolbar2.jpg Some more lines added : #include...

Uwe The Icons are still not transparent .. they are the standard icons in the FWH folder .. Perhaps it is because my work box is XP ?? I have added 24 bit alpha blend icons to the .rc but nothing changes :( You have gone far and above with your help ! Rick Lipkin http://www.freeimagehosting&...
