PLEASE HELP!! Transparent blitting not working!

Nick Jacobson

The following code is used to draw a bitmap on a form with a color key
(i.e. a color that's not drawn). For speed purposes, I'm trying to
call the Win32 API function: TransparentBlt.

But the call is failing (and the image is not drawn), with an error
code of 126: "The specified module could not be found"
(ERROR_MOD_NOT_FOUND).

(The bitmap is loaded from a separate file called "bmp.bmp", any
bitmap renamed to that will do. I'm using Win XP Pro SP2 and
VStudio.NET 2003.)

Thanks a lot for your help!

Calling the .NET function is too slow. The Win32 API is way faster.
