Will this support TOGGLING between TWO IMAGES?

AaronReams

If you want to toggle between two images... Add two images to the imagelist and then set the button's image index property accordingly.

Okay Aaron:

The Image assignment from the ImageList to the Button at runtime is working fine....as is the Image Toggling.

BUT

The image background is still NOT transparent....still showing up white......

I am missing something dumb here I am sure.......

AaronReams

Hmmmm. Strange.

Are you sure you're using bitmaps and not icons?
Are you sure the transparent color is set to the exact same color as your desired color?

I just tested this and getting transparent images to work can be a little quirky. Make sure you have the TransparentColor property set to the color you want before you add the images to the image list.

Hope this helps. -A

AaronReams

Yeah, I would think that's a bug also.

Right off hand, I'm not sure about your other question... sorry. I'll try take a closer look at it if I get a chance later in the day.

Good luck -A
