HELP!!! err... Loading an icon, dynamically, as a SpeedButton's glyph

[tibberous]

I am trying to create a button based off of an icon handle that is loaded at runtime.

I can get the icon to work properly as an Image, but if I try to use it as the glyph of a speed button, it has problems with transparency.

Does anyone know how to do this, with or without the VCL.

Thanks

(btw, Hello to everyone, this is my first post)

The transparency applies for the same color as the lower left dot. I have however had problems with 256-colors BMP but by using 16-color BMP it works like a charm.

Keep making it perfect and it will end up broken.

Try this:

TIcon *nwIcon = new TIcon();
Graphics::TBitmap *bmpImage = new Graphics::TBitmap();
try {
nwIcon->LoadFromFile("yourfile.ico");
bmpImage->Width = nwIcon->Width;
bmpImage->Height = nwIcon->Height;
bmpImage->Canvas->Draw(0, 0, nwIcon);
SpeedButton1->Glyph->Assign(bmpImage);
}
__finally
{
nwIcon->Free();
bmpImage->Free();
}

Good luck!
