hi,

to make a Bitmap from Icon ist easy but how to make a Icon ?

Source of XbpIcon is in \SOURCE\SYS\xbparts.prg so you can make a Copy and 
modify it

   EXPORTED:
      VAR Handle

this Way you can assign a HICON to it and use it in your Xbase++ App.
i use it with Imagelist_GetIcon() where i got transparency.

you also have SaveFile( cFile ) ! Note : PDR 6681 / 6791
but Method SaveFile have a Problem : transparency

XbpIcon use OleCreatePictureIndirect / OleSavePictureFile()
is there a other Way to create a Icon with transparency when have HICON e.g. 
from Imagelist_GetIcon() ?
