hi,

I work on WinXP with framework 1.1 ( using c# ).

I try to display a png image ( with transparency an alpha-blending ) in a
picturebox using an imagelist.

If i put the image directly in the picturebox, it's work fine.
But if i take the image from the imagelist, the alpha-blending seem to be
lost (picturebox.Image = imagelist.Images[0]).

somebody have information about this ?
 
An imagelist is a single bitmap onto which the component images are copied
when they're added. The alpha component is not maintained in the addition
process so unless the image is on a colour keyed background and the
imagelist.TransparentColor correctly set, the images will be opaque.

This is intended behaviour and ImageLists are not suitable for images having
per-pixel alpha values such as that available in PNG.
