I've tried to use a PNG file on a GUI but it doesn't show. .ico and .bmp work fine so I'm simply wondering if this is a bug or by design?

I just tested, and it looks like the bitmap attribute doesn't work on a static control if the bitmap is a png. It works on buttons but not on statics. To get around this, you can instead use a panel control (viewwindowtype 102). Give it the bitmap attribute with path to the png, then also give it a viewfocus attribute with the path ..>bitmap.

Anthony, you are the best. Thanks!

If somebody else is interested, In an older project I used some bitmaps for library icons and things like that but I had some problems with color differences on different computers so the bitmaps looked strange. So now with an update of those libraries I used a free program Paint.net (the program that paint was supposed to be

) and could very simply make the background transparent and save as .png and solved all my problems!

FYI we've fixed this for the next version 5.1
