I want to get the system icon and display it on picture box. But the result
of the picture which show on the picture box the alpha channel to be black
in color.

How can I get a right system icon to display on the picture box?
s
P.S. My OS is WinXP, so the system icon have alpha channel.

Code:
System.Drawing.Bitmap bitmap =
System.Drawing.Bitmap.FromHicon(SystemIcons.Questi on.Handle);
this.pb.Image = bitmap;

Dear Andrew,
Try to add the following line before assigning the bitmap instance to the
picture box's Image property:

bitmap.MakeTransparent(Colors.FromArgb(0,0,0));

However, you will see that you'll get better result but not the perfect.
If you really want to get better results, I suggest you to save the icons
(hand-coding) or find their resources--in order to adjust their desired
transparency color.

Regards,
Michael Zino
