For all you lost BitBlt-ers out there...

I've created this little program to create masks easily, so I though, hey, why don't I just share it with all the nice people at the VB-World forums :)

So here it is, just load a picture, select a color and mask it...


Btw, I'm also working on a rather large BitBlt tutorial, which covers Beginning BitBlt, Animations, Masks and some similar API functions, if anyone's got suggestions, I'll put them in too, since a lot of people are always asking about BitBlt...


Hope you enjoy it!

The download doesnt work for me...

Sometimes I really hate that server :mad:


Anyways, the server works fine for me again, but you can also download it here: (download URL removed, scroll down for correct location)

How can you make such a big tutorial out of one single api function? well i'm just suggesting you could write one for the whole GDI, there are tons of gdi newbies out here and i don't like it, my posts are dropping down too fast.

Large = compared to most tutorials. Since I'm explaning a lot (too much probably), and it's for both VB and Delphi...

The whole GDI? Good idea, I'll work on that...

Start button skinner :eek: is it running and subclassing WM_Paints on it or is there anothe way?

Kewl, people are actually checking my software :p

Peter1 just asked me for the download. I didn't have the original source anymore, so I just wrote another small program... masking a 800x600 image took less than half a second, gotta love optimized code ;). For those interested: http://www.x2software.net/download.php?file=maskit.zip


There may be better programs out there, but it does it's job...

Cheers Matey :)

Thanks a lot for sharing this with us! I needed something like this for a long time, but I'm too lazy to make one myself :)

Thanks, pal. You should check your servers, however, the first 2 downloads ( both locations!) didn't work for me...

Those were old downloads (really really really old), but I've removed them from the post... the last one should be valid...

WOW! Thanks for sharing this! I've been needing a program like this! :D
