I am trying to draw a transparent (alpha) PNG image using CxImage, but it seems I’m missing some obvious step… The code so far is:

CxImage image(m_pImage, m_lSize, CXIMAGE_FORMAT_UNKNOWN);

CRect rcOut = rc;
rcOut.left = (rc.Width()/2) - (image.GetWidth()/2);
rcOut.right = rcOut.left + image.GetWidth();
rcOut.top = (rc.Height()/2) - (image.GetHeight()/2);
rcOut.bottom = rcOut.top + image.GetHeight();

image.Draw(dc.GetSafeHdc(),rcOut);

where m_pImage is loaded elsewhere using:

CxImage image(strPath,CXIMAGE_FORMAT_UNKNOWN);
long lSize = 0;
BYTE * pBuf = NULL;

RGBQUAD rgbq;
rgbq.rgbRed = 255;
rgbq.rgbGreen = 255;
rgbq.rgbBlue = 255;
rgbq.rgbReserved = 0;

image.Thumbnail(paramImageSize, paramImageSize, rgbq);
image.SetJpegQuality(100);
image.Encode(pBuf, lSize, CXIMAGE_FORMAT_JPG);

Can you see what I’m missing?

Thanks in advance!

    It seems that the Thumbnail() function caused those problem along with the destination format being JPEG. Changed to Resample2() and PNG and it’s ok.
