I am using the infragistics ribbon control, and I would like to use 32-bit bitmaps. I am able to set an ImageTransparentColor, but I would like to use the 8-bit transparency in the image instead of specifying a single-bit transparency color. Is this supported? How do I do it?
Hi,
I am just checking about the progress of this issue. Let me know If you need my further assistance on this issue?
Thank you for using Infragistics Components.
I believe the problem was that I was trying to use the MS Office 32-bit BMP bitmaps provided with Visual Studio 2010 and they did not display correctly. The 32x32 pixel Save icon is an example.
We encountered this a while ago; we've since migrated to WPF and just converted the images to PNG, which seems to work fine.
Just the same, thanks for the response.
Here is an example bitmap, if you have access to VS 2010:
....\VS2010ImageLibrary\Actions\32bitcolor bitmaps\32x32\SaveHH.bmp
The transparency is not 1-bit (like the magenta colored 24-bit icons) -- it is 8-bit, like a PNG. Using black as a transparency color key will produce awkward results and not create the soft shadows that are supposed to be in these icons.
Hello ,
We are followed Microsoft Guide Lines to build our Ribbon, for more information about Ribbons please look at the following link:http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/windows/desktop/cc872782.aspx#icons
Ribbon’s icons should conform to the Aero-style icon guidelines, for more information please look at the following link:http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/windows/desktop/aa511280.aspx#aero
in this document 8-bit transparency is not recommended . The 8-bit icons will be displayed in any color mode lower than 32-bit and will not have the 8-bit alpha channel, so they may need to have their edges or more cleaned up because there's no anti-aliasing.
If you want you could log a feature request http://devcenter.infragistics.com/protected/requestfeature.aspx for this functionality.
Please let me know if you have any further questions.
I think there is a misunderstanding.
This image (provided with Visual Studio 2010):....\VS2010ImageLibrary\Actions\32bitcolor bitmaps\32x32\SaveHH.bmp
Is a 32-bit image.
