.gif Images Not Working For $bs_bitmap

[megahyperion]

Basically just what the title says, when I use $BS_Bitmap I cant use a .gif, only .bmp and I wanted to use some transparency effects on the buttons as I read in another thread.

Thanks in advance

$BS_BITMAP works only with bitmaps as it's name say. So if you want transparency - use icons and $BS_ICON style.

Gif can be only used with Pic control (and only under XP afaik).

No. I'm using Pic control for displaying GIF in my radar_src.zip (see my signature) and it's working fine under WINXP and also under WIN98.
