Creating transparent Bitmap!

I have problem creating bitmap of type "HBITMAP" as transparent. I want to make a transparent bitmap, draw on it, show it in the menubar.

But the problem is that when I highlight the menu, it sets the background of the bitmap(that I have loaded on the menu) to white so it look really odd.

The picture describes what is happening


Please help me!

How are you drawing the bitmap onto the object?

I am first making the bitmap with the code and then drawing in on a menu using the propery "MF_BITMAP"

Come on.. I am still stuck on that!
