Dear Support,

We use the following method for loading toolbar buttons:

            CExtBitmap bmp;
            bmp.LoadBMP_File(file, true);
            bmp.AlphaColor(crTransparent, 0, 0);
            HICON hIcon = bmp.CreateHICON();
            
            g_CmdManager->CmdSetIcon(
                strProfileName,
                pCmdItemMenu->m_nCmdID,
                hIcon,
                false
                );

We would like to use 32 png files, and have them alpha blend (with white as the backgroung color) - what do we need to do to make it work?

Thanks,

Ron.

OK... figured it out:

                CExtSkinBitmap bmp;
                bmpMenu.LoadPNG_File(file, true);
                hIcon = bmp.CreateHICON();

Works great - one question - why is the CExtSkinBitmap not part if Prof-UIS? It is a very useful class.

Ron.

The CExtSkinBitmap class is part of ProfSkin library. It’s a very small library and you can link your project with it.
