How to load icons with transparency?

[lordzero]

Hi All,

I'm trying to load an icon on MMF2...

See it here:

Why this happens?

Other question.. How to load a .cur file?

Ok I'm done some testing and it appears you cannot load png's that have semi-transparent edges, because as a fact Cursors can't have semi-transparent edges. (but they can have transparent edges just not semi transparent)

As for the .cur file, someone would have to make an extension if there isn't one already as it isn't a built in feature

about the transparency thanks for clarify!

using delphi this is very easy to implement loading a external file..

const 
crSeuCursor = 1; // Tem que ser um valor maior que 0 (zero)
crSeuCursorB = 2; // Tem que ser um valor maior que 0 (zero)
crSeuCursorC = 3; // Tem que ser um valor maior que 0 (zero)
crSeuCursorD = 4; // Tem que ser um valor maior que 0 (zero)

var
  Form1: TForm1;

implementation

{$R *.dfm}

procedure TForm1.ComboBox1Change(Sender: TObject);
begin

if ComboBox1.ItemIndex = 0 then
begin
Form1.Cursor := crSeuCursor;
end;
if ComboBox1.ItemIndex = 1 then
begin
Form1.Cursor := crSeuCursorB;
end;
if ComboBox1.ItemIndex = 2 then
begin
Form1.Cursor := crSeuCursorC;
end;
if ComboBox1.ItemIndex = 3 then
begin
Form1.Cursor := crSeuCursorD;
end;

end;

procedure TForm1.FormCreate(Sender: TObject);
begin
Screen.Cursors [crSeuCursor] := LoadCursorFromFile ('hand.cur');
Screen.Cursors [crSeuCursorB] := LoadCursorFromFile ('lupa.cur');
Screen.Cursors [crSeuCursorC] := LoadCursorFromFile ('sapato.cur');
Screen.Cursors [crSeuCursorD] := LoadCursorFromFile ('hand.cur');

end;

but at this project i want implement this using MMF2...

Can someone help me with this?

You must be doing something different than me. If I start up a new MFM2, put in an active object, and instert and multitude of PNGs with various alphas and transparencies, they all work fine. My guess is you are clicking settings that you shouldn't be clicking, or importing the them in the wrong place.

As for .cur files, just search for a converter to convert them in to several PNG files (since .cur files can also be animated).
