Hello.I have a GeUserArea and I inherit its DrawMsg to draw 2 bitmaps on top of each other.
First, I use DrawBitmap to draw the background image and then I draw the topmost bitmap which requires BMP_ALLOWALPHA .The problem is that using BMP_ALLOWALPHA shows the background color DrawSetPen(COLOR_BG) instead of the background image.
How can I fix that ?
Thank you.

As far as I know, the only solution is to use a GeClipMap. However, that class does only support direct
blitting, without scaling.. Doing the scaling in C++ is pretty darn slow on bigger images and causes my
dialog to lag horribly when the user area is resized.I'd love to know if there was actually a way to use DrawBitmap() with proper alpha support, too.

Hello and thank you very much for your answer.
So basically, I will set the bitmap to a GeClipMap and draw the stored bitmap, correct ?
Inside DrawMsg:BeginDraw(); BaseBitmap* base_bitmap = clip_map->GetBitmap(); DrawBitmap(base_bitmap, ........); EndDraw();
I couldn't find any reference in the examples.
Thank you.

You would need to create a GeClipMap on which you combine the two BaseBitmaps to get your
final "image" that you want to draw on the GeUserArea. Something likeAutoAlloc<GeClipMap> map; // cache that somewhere maybe map->BeginDraw(); map->Blit(image1, ...); map->Blit(image2, ...); map->EndDraw(); BaseBitmap* final = map->GetBitmap(); userArea->DrawBitmap(final, ...);

I don't think this is going to work because my background image is scaled since it is drawn in a GeUserArea with DrawBitmap.
I have tried using Init (BaseBitmap *bm, BaseBitmap *alpha_channel) passing the image and a black/white image indicating the transparent regiong but it didn't work
So it appears that my only solution is to use a fixed background and use GeClipMap's blit, right ?
Thank you.
