HI,

I have a resource editor file in VB6 which contains BMP images used by
the Excel Add-in to create toolbar buttons. I have created a public
function in my VB application which pulls the required image from the
Resource Editor and passes it on to the Excel Add-In and using the
PasteFace method I paste it on the toolbar button.

The problem with the BMPs stored in the resource editor is that they
are not transparent (they are not suppose to be !), but I want them to
be transparent. The other methods I have discovered so far are not
working for me due to the Resource Editor issue which I can't bypass at
all. Its the requirement of my application.

Any Ideas ???

Thanks in advance.

Depends what you are doing, but may be TransparentBlt

But sounds like the .Mask property of the commandbar may suit you.
Look at the example in Help.
