Yes, GDI+ supports it. Search for Alpha blending GDI+ image. In fact, my suspiction is that the drawing of alpha-blending is built write into the (plain) GDI library as well: FreeImage does not have any drawing routines but instead tells you to use the standard GDI routine StretchDIBlt to draw the bitmap that you have created with FreeImage. What GDI+ adds is the ability to read png files into the format Windows wants for drawing as well as manipulate the images if you want. >> But being able to embed IWebBrowser2 in bars could be interesting. > I am afraid I don't really understand what you mean. Do you mean being able to render web content into the background of a button? I am not sure I understand what this would buy you over just opening up IE.
