Hi Dominic,
>>the transparency in buttons need the file same the bmp with extension "msk". I'm sending un sample in your endress mail. This sample get from internet.
>Ok, I've tried it (same .bmp renamed .msk in the same directory)
Just make the area where you don't want to have transparency black in the msk file and leave/make the rest white. This should do the job. This a generic bmp mechanism which works in all VFP versions.
>Now I have psychedelic colors all over.
Wasn't that in the 70's ? < vbg >
HTH,
Armin
