Hi,

I have a component, which have an icon (converted from the bmp files that
comes with VS2005), it is correctly displayed. The problem occurs when the
component (non visual, like the menu strip) is placed on the form (the area
below the form in the IDE). The "transparent" color is not transparent
anymore. Does anyone know how to fix this?

regards

Carl

How did you assign the icon to the component? Typically bitmaps are used as
components' icons. IIRC the color of the top left pixel is considered the
transparency key.
