High color bitmaps and disabled buttons 1

[badukist]

Anyone succesfully use high/true color bitmaps for command/toolbar buttons?. Because buttons look very bad when disabled (only some gray shadow), doesn't matter if has a .msk file with black areas or not.
Am I doing something wrong ? Or is there a SET command or something?

What version and service pack level of VFP are you using? What OS and SP level? Does it work this way on other OSs? What resolution and color depth are you running? Have you tried others? Have you tried updating the video driver?

I found the solution. I've created copies of the bitmaps and converted to grays with a batch conversion utility of a graphic viewer. Now, if I point the DisabledPicture button property to the bitmap, it look EXCELLENT even disabled.
Thanks.

Badukist,

Excellent. I spent a long time on the same problem, and never got good results. Your suggestion works fine.
