I'd imagine the only way is to build the res file yourself, with/without resHacker...
nope. thats the preferred way unless you use some of the VC executable (rc for example) to create a valid win32 binary file. it is longer and not necessary for most programmers.

thats that...
vb6 does not support directly 32bit (alpha transparency) images, thats why
you are using a 3'rd party application that does.

yes vb6 should work fine with some bitwise operation.
although I recommended using GDI+ API Library,
use can use GDIPlus Wrapper project to load and manipulate images, loading from resources or files.
I've attached 2 zip files for you to download.
you can find out more about this project searching in PlanetSourceCode.
