Windows 2000 32 bit support

[Winston]

Hi i was wondering if its possible to actually get your icons in ur .net program and and the icons in ur toolbar to be rendered to support 32bit alpha under windows 2000 OS, i mean using a picture box shows a png rendering drop shadows really well but why is it the forms icons and toolbars all turn out crap

anyone have a solution

Only Windows XP supports icons with alpha channels. I don't know why toolbars wouldn't work with 32bit png images in them, possibly because it's only a .NET wrapper for the win32 toolbar. If you tried using a third-party toolbar written entirely in .NET you might have more luck.

do uno of any third party toolbars?..

im looking for one which supports the windows xp theme greyish gradient blend with a gripper

if im not mistaken its a command bar which supports 32 bit icons under win2k

Sorry, I don't know of one like that offhand. Try Google.

I've been using magiclibrary, and works pretty nice, besides the toolbar it has some other cool controls you can find it in

Sorry, I made a mistkae, the magic library gives you docking style controls, Office XP menus, and other controls, but the one you're looking for is not there, I can't remember where I found it, but here is the control for a toolbar written in C# (code included)

I hope this helps you out
