Enclosed is a suite of classes that allow you to work strictly with 32bpp DIBs, including recognizing transparency/alpha channels in gifs, icons, pngs, & bitmaps. There are a bunch of "nice to have" routines and maybe an eye-opener or two for some of you. The classes are heavily commented. 19Nov07: bug located--cBmpParser failed to load properly from array when array was not zero-bound. Added SwapDIB method & KeepGDIplusActive property, some Win9x routines tweaked. 20Nov07:: Posted wrong version of updates, sorry. Discoverd GDI+ may work with Win95 (it does for me). Class now will test GDI+ on all O/S vs assuming it won t work as documented. Review Change History in the RTF file for important notes overview of class functions/properties.
