Simple .png image in button ctrl? Help!

[4ggr35510n]

Greetings!

I'd like to create button with .png image on it. Yet I cannot make the thing to work properly

I've started from GuiCtrlSendMsg function which works perfect to set .png images in GuiCtrlPic controls... Yet it can't create transparent background with button controls

Below it's the code I've got so far: (it might ask u for dling one small png image, so u could see the problem)

expandcollapse popup

#include <GdiPlus.au3>

$hGui = GUICreate('')
$hButton = GUICtrlCreateButton('', 10, 10, 128, 128, 0x0080) ; BS_BITMAP style
$hStaticLabel = GUICtrlCreatePic('', 10, 150, 128, 128) ; no style needed




; I will Download PNG Image for you... I hope it's okay...
If Not FileExists('plus.png') Then
    ; I will Download PNG Image for you... I hope it's okay...
    If MsgBox(4, 'Question for you my dear...', 'Is it OKAY to download small png image from google images?') = 6 Then
        InetGet('http://www.smyku.pl/img/plus.png', 'plus.png')
    Else
        Exit MsgBox(0, '', 'Bye bye then <img src='http://www.autoitscript.com/forum/public/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/sad.png' class='bbc_emoticon' alt=':(' />')
    EndIf
EndIf





_GDIPlus_Startup()

$hPngImage = _GDIPlus_ImageLoadFromFile('plus.png')

Global $iARGB = 0xFF000000 ; you can manipulate with that, making it white, yellow, blue, etc. etc. backgrounded... But not transparent <img src='http://www.autoitscript.com/forum/public/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/sad.png' class='bbc_emoticon' alt=':(' />
$hBitmapHandle = _GDIPlus_BitmapCreateHBITMAPFromBitmap($hPngImage, $iARGB)

; Setting image to a Static / Label - works FINE, background is fully transparent
GUICtrlSendMsg($hStaticLabel, 0x0172, 0,  $hBitmapHandle) ; 0x0172 == STM_SETIMAGE msg

; Setting image to a Button - works _NOT_AT_ALL_
GUICtrlSendMsg($hButton, 0x0F7, 0, $hBitmapHandle)  ; 0x0F7 == BM_SETIMAGE msg






GUISetState()

Do
    $msg = GUIGetMsg()
    Switch $msg
        Case -3
            _WinAPI_DeleteObject($hBitmapHandle) ; cleaning resources
            _GDIPlus_ImageDispose($hPngImage)   ; x2
            Exit
        Case $hButton
            MsgBox(0, "I'm a button", _
                            "It's _NOT_ a racist thing... I just don't want to be black any more <img src='http://www.autoitscript.com/forum/public/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/sad.png' class='bbc_emoticon' alt=':(' />" & _
            @CRLF & _
            @CRLF & _
                            "NOT white neither... I just want to be _TRANSPARENT_! Can you help me...? <img src='http://www.autoitscript.com/forum/public/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/sad.png' class='bbc_emoticon' alt=':(' />" )
    EndSwitch
Until False

Maybe you will know how to make this code work...?

It's the same method _GuiCtrlButton_SetImage() function is using...

For Buttons works only with .bmp / .ico

For Pics works with everything.

How come?

Best regards,

hoping for your help,

I already had that solution in the example forum, I will search for it.

EDIT: This was only for gui.

But you can make a little gui where you can click on.

It was somewhere on the forum, You saw a heart and a windows gray logo, when you clicked it stopped blinking.

I will search further

Take a look at this.

And here

And here is your solution I think:
