Mike,

Thanks for the reply.
I'm trying but so far no success.

By reading your post over and over I'm starting to think that I didn't make
myself too clear:
my starting point is an icon with transparency wrapped into an stdPicture
(loaded from resource thru LoadResPicture), not a bitmap.

You state:
> The IconHelper library allows you to create an icon from a Bitmap...
That gets me confused on which function I should use.

Thanks,
