Transparent Png on MDI Parent

[byron.hopp]

I have a Png file, it is suppose to be transparent, when I display it in an image editor it shows a checkered gray background. How can I make this transparent using @ Say Image. On Resize I move it so it always is in the lower right hand corner of the window. But I get the checkered background, not so pretty.

ZIP in a small example and put megaupload for testing.

Dear Byron,

Please post the code you are using to paint it

[nageswaragunupudi]

If using MDI window:

Code: Select all  Expand view  RUN

DEFINE WINDOW oWnd MDI
oWnd:oWndClient:bPainted := { || oWnd:oWndClient:DrawImage( "..\bitmaps\pngs\2.png",,,,,,"RB" ) }
ACTIVATE WINDOW oWnd CENTERED

For normal window

Code: Select all  Expand view  RUN

DEFINE WINDOW oWnd MDI
oWnd:bPainted := { || oWnd:DrawImage( "..\bitmaps\pngs\2.png",,,,,,"RB" ) }
ACTIVATE WINDOW oWnd CENTERED

Seems to depend on the bitmap, this code works for some bitmaps, I have also used @ 0,0 Bitmap...
...main program
@ 0,0 Image oLogo File Mcs_AppPath() + "Images\SqlServerLogo.bmp" Of oWnd:oWndClient No Border
ACTIVATE WINDOW oWnd VALID MCS_EXIT(oWnd,cPath,pPRG_ABRV) ON INIT OpenMast() On Resize SetLogo( oLogo,oWnd )
RETURN (NIL)

Function SetLogo( oLogo,oWnd )
Local nX,nY
oWnd:CoorsUpdate()
oWnd:oWndClient:CoorsUpdate()
oLogo:CoorsUpdate()
oLogo:Hide()
nX := oWnd:oWndClient:nWidth() - oLogo:nWidth()
nY := oWnd:oWndClient:nHeight() - oLogo:nHeight()
oLogo:Move( nY,nX,oLogo:nWidth(),oLogo:nHeight(),.t. )
oLogo:Show()
return NIL

I once again repeat please.
As I suggested above, the method oWnd:DrawImage(...) is the best suited for this purpose.
Please DO NOT create controls like BITMAP,IMAGE,XIMAGE etc.

Please test this example in samples folder:
I have used one Png to display at bottom-right and another at bottom-left.
Window can be resized.
When the window is resized to a very small size, even these pngs get resized correspondingly.
Also please note the transparent rendering.

Code: Select all  Expand view  RUN

#include "fivewin.ch"

function Main()

   local oWnd, oBrush, oBar
   local cPng1  := "..\bitmaps\pngs\2.png"
   local cPng2  := "..\bitmaps\pngs\pan_setting.png"

   DEFINE BRUSH oBrush FILE "..\bitmaps\backgrnd\beach.bmp"
   DEFINE WINDOW oWnd MDI BRUSH oBrush TITLE "TRANSP LOGOS"
   DEFINE BUTTONBAR oBar OF oWnd 2007
   SET MESSAGE OF oWnd TO "" 2007

   oWnd:oWndClient:bPainted := { || ;
      oWnd:oWndClient:DrawImage( cPng1, { .6,.7,, },,,,, "RB" ), ;
      oWnd:oWndClient:DrawImage( cPng2,{,,,.2},,,,,"LB" ) }

   ACTIVATE WINDOW oWnd CENTERED
   RELEASE BRUSH oBrush

return nil

Mr. Rao, yes that did it. I had to convert my app to a newer version of FiveWin and once I got that going it was good. Thanks so much for taking the time to explain.

What is your FWH version?

[byron.hopp]

#define FWCOPYRIGHT "(c) FiveTech Software, 1993-2023"

#define FWVERSION "FWH 23.07"
#define FW_VersionNo 23070

[nageswaragunupudi]

My sample works perfectly with your version.
You need not update.
In fact my sample works with much older versions also ( though not very very old)

Works with all versions of FWH from 2018 onwards

[byron.hopp]

No the version I sent you is the new, the other was xHb, I don't think it had the Method DrawImage. I am good now, your version works great, and seems better than what I was doing before. Thanks,
