Maybe if you told us what the error is and where it occurs, we'll be better able to help you.

[WindowsNuclear]

The error occurs when I use the SetAutoRgn(),It simplely say Just not support the form variable.
I didn't know What's wrong with it.
So, I give up the function,Use the Part as a nomal code,It just can't recongnize the Byte Type.
I was confused with it.

Can anybody Knows what's wrong with it?Thanks.

Try replacing Byte with Integer first. If that doesn't work, try using the code from here instead:

This will take a bitmap and use yellow (which can be changed) as the transparency color. You can use it on anything with an hWnd.


Hope that works better for you :)

This project does the same thing. Uses the first pixel of the pic as the transparency colour.

:)Thanks for help.

It's lucky I got to the right place.
