bitmaps on buttons - (no mask) 1

[BlackDice]

I have an app that has bitmaps on the buttons for the form, and that ugly grey background also shows up behind the images. How can I mask that color out?

You need to have corresponding MSK files for your bitmaps. Check out the topic "How to: Enhance Control Display" in Help.

I found some more stuff on the site yesterday after posting my thread. I tried making the .msk files, but they didn't seem to work. Then I used the originals and turned all the gray stuff white (since I read VFP uses white as the transparent color by default). That didn't seem to work at first, but then when I closed the app down a few times and opened it, it was showing correctly. ???

BlackDice,
Because VFP keeps as much stuff in memory as it can, it's always a good idea to CLEAR RESOURCES after making these kinds of changes. See the Help file topic for CLEAR for more detail.
