Transparent background GIF?

[ryeguy]

How can I use a GIF's transparency when it is displayed as a Pic control? I have some in my app and the background is displayed as white instead of being transparent.

None of these had your answer?

I might be blind, but no, I really could not find anything. A majority of those threads are about making the gui window itself transparent - I don't want that. There were 3 solutions I found in those threads:

WS_EX_LAYERED - This makes the window see through; I just want the background of a .gif pic control to be transparent (it displays as white)

Larry's DLL - This uses a BMP as a transparency mask for the entire GUI window, so that wont work for me

Creating a new GUI with just the GIF on it - I'm using a tabbed control so this would be more work than its worth

Am I missing anything? I probably am but there was nothing I could see.

Can youshow some code and the gif with the problem?

The code is simply

$Pic1 = GUICtrlCreatePic("graphics\mail.gif", 0, 0, 65, 65)

Here is a screenshot. Notice the BG is white - that is what is marked as transparent on the GIF.

The gif is attached.
