Icon creation background black[Solved]

[Datus]

I have a strange problem that if I create an icon on my main window it shows the transparancy as black and not white which the main window has been set to.

I use

$x=GUICtrlCreateIcon("iconname.ico",1,x,y,size,size);which shows black background

but if I follow with

GUICtrlSetImage($x,"iconname.ico",1);with the same icons it shows white.

If I do the above I get a flicker so didnt really want to resort to that.

Ive been throught code commenting out picture drawing etc and anything that may have black in it but no luck.

If I create a small program with just a main window the icon is fine.

What Im looking for is any tips I can try which I may not have already tried.

ive sort of found out why it was doing it.

When I delete a control id it went black.

Tried to replicate it on a smaller bit of code but couldnt so I guess theres some strange stuff happening at the that time that is affecting it.

I was calling a func in my code so I fixed it by creating the icon before the call.

I dont use local global values etc as I dont understand them so maybe that has something to do with it.

Anyway its working now.
