    CreateWindowEx

    Sorry guys, this is probably an easy one but I'm tired...

    How can I create a PictureBox / Image / Whatever can display a GIF file with transparency, through the API (assuming CreateWindowEx here)?

    Erm no.. I have to use the API :-)

    The point is that I'm going to create a new window so I can add it to other window's title bars... that reminds me a window can't be transparent except when using layer effects, damn!

    Would probably be easier to BitBlt a picture there, hm..

    Yes, BitBlt it like you would a sprite (with the use of a mask).

    (Since I recall you're fairly advanced in GDI/Graphics, I'll assume you know what I mean)

    Yes I am. Hoped there could be some workaround since BitBlt is still eating more performance than some internal windows stuff but guess 16x16 pixel won't hurt.

    Well I got nearly everything to work now, in the worst case I'll just use a standard button instead of icons
