after many tests, I coudn't find a solution, to define
transparent buttons with BTNBMP on a image-background.
It seems, it works only with colors and brushes.
All Tests :
Color :

Gradient :

Style :

Brush :

Image :

A extended version of sample testbtnb.prg for easy testing :
( define nStyle 1 to 5 for different backgrounds )
Copy the prg with a new name to the FWH-sample-directory and
change inside the functions the path for the brush-bmp and image.
You only need to change the number of nStyle for a different test.
To change :
DEFINE BRUSH oImage FILE "Marble.bmp"
DEFINE IMAGE oImage FILE "Background.jpg"
Code: Select all | Expand
// Testing the FiveWin Class TBtnBmp at a DialogBox from resources
#include "FiveWin.ch"
//----------------------------------------------------------------------------//

local oDlg, nStyle, hDC
SET _3DLOOK ON

NOBORDER ;

REDEFINE BTNBMP ID 120 OF oDlg 2007 ;
