Anser,
The class changes are exactly the ones that I commented you at the beginning of this thread:
use ABPaint() instead of DrawMasked() in Method Paint(). Thats all

Yes Mr.Antonio, you are right. Unfortunately in between I got into trouble with the wrong .RES file issue and I was totally confused
after that and went in the wrong direction.Really appreciate your support
One more question. Do I have to follow the similiar steps in METHOD PAINT of TBitMap to display AlphaChannel BMP on a BITMAP control ? Or is there any other control available to display AlphaChannel BMP on a Dialog/Window/Folder ?
@04,14 BITMAP oBmp SIZE 43,55 of oFolder:aDialogs[1] RESOURCE "User76x112"

Anser,
It is the same issue:
Just modify Class TBitmap Method Paint() to use ABPaint()
Dear Mr.Antonio,
Which one should I replace with ABPaint
Is it
or
Would have been nice If we could control this from our PRG itself without modifying the original class

Anser

Is it
PalBmpDraw( ::hDC, ::nX, ::nY, ::hBitmap, ::hPalette,;
Super:nWidth(), Super:nHeight(),, ::lTransparent, ::nClrPane )or
TransBmp( ::hBitmap, ::nWidth(), ::nHeight(), nZeroZeroClr, ::hDC,;
::nX, ::nY, ::nWidth(), ::nHeight() )Would have been nice If we could control this from our PRG itself without modifying the original class

I tried,
But did't get the expected result

@04,14 BITMAP oBmp SIZE 43,55 of oFolder:aDialogs[1] RESOURCE "User76x112"
oBmp:bPainted:={ || ABPaint( oBmp:hDC, 0, 0, oBmp:hBitmap, 220 )}But did't get the expected result
Regards

Anser,
The idea is to modify the class, but if you want to test it that way then try it like this:
oBmp:bPainted:={ | hDC | ABPaint( hDC, 0, 0, oBmp:hBitmap, 220 ) }
Dear MR.Antonio,
Thankyou, solved
Had to replace both PalBmpDraw() and TransBmp() with ABPaint() in the Method Paint()
For Aesthetic purpose it is better to have a choice to use AlphaBmp's. Is it possible to include these changes in the future FWH updates with a Logical DATA to decide whether to display or not the AlphaChannel so that it does not effect backward compatibility.

IF ! ::lBmpAlpha // New Data .T. or .F.
TransBmp( ::hBitmap, ::nWidth(), ::nHeight(), nZeroZeroClr, ::hDC,;
::nX, ::nY, Super:nWidth(), Super:nHeight() )
Else
ABPaint( ::hDC, ::nX, ::nY, ::hBitmap, 220 )

Antonio, I would like to vote for this also.

Estou alterando a classe tOutLook para funcionar com Bmps Alpha channels tambem, quando estiver pronto eu aviso.
I am also altering the class tOutLook to work with Bmps Alpha channels, when it is ready I inform.
Wouldn't it better if we could automatically detect if the bitmap has an alpha channel into it and automatically call the proper painting routine ?

If it is possible to identify Alphachannel automatically then that would be the best solution.

Definitely!

I am not sure, but he/she should have this function so that it was detected automatically
