Hi David,

> I'm pretty sure GDI+ will convert PNG to BMP and therefore to MSK since it's the same file format.

The complication is that (as I understand things) the BMP contains the image and transparency (white) data and the MSK file contains the data that overrides the white=transparency data with white=white data.

So its really a two part conversion, first convert the PNG to BMP, then update the BMP converting PNG transparency to white, followed by creating a MSK file containing data for the pixels that need to remain white vs transparent.

I've found plenty of PNG to BMP conversion utilities - but none with any support for the MSK file format that VFP uses.
