Hi
I have transparent GIF's which I need to print.

I am using TransparentBlt.

It works OK with print preview, but when I print to printer or to Adobe, the transparent images are not printed.

I tried StretchBlt and BitBlt also, but my transparency is lost.

Even Aplhablend is not working.

Please suggest some alternate methods to do so.

Regards

See the final paragraph of the Remarks section in http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/windows/desktop/dd145141(v=vs.85).aspx[^].

Dear Richard

Thanks for your reply. Do you have a working example of the same? As advised I looked at the final paragraph. What I understand is that I need to use
1. GetDIBits and
2. SetDIBits

I tried it but seems I have not fully understood its use.

I am pasting (relevant) lines of my code and please see if you can add these two functions to my code at the approporiate place so that I can make it work.



//------ CDC& dc -- Passed here into my function

dc.SetStretchBltMode(HALFTONE);
dc.SetBrushOrg(0, 0);
.....

/// CImage m_Image ---> Declared at some other place

LONG nTransparent = m_Image.GetTransparentColor();
HDC hDC = m_Image.GetDC();
::GetDIBColorTable(hDC, nTransparent, 1, &rgb);
if (nTransparent != -1)
{
void *ptr = m_Image.GetBits();
BOOL bRes = ::TransparentBlt(dc, xDest, yDest, nDestWidth, nDestHeight, hDC, xSrc, ySrc, nSrcWidth, nSrcHeight,RGB(rgb.rgbRed, rgb.rgbGreen, rgb.rgbBlue));
TRACE("Result = %d\n", bRes);
}
else
{
::StretchBlt(dc, xDest, yDest, nDestWidth, nDestHeight, hDC, xSrc, ySrc, nSrcWidth, nSrcHeight, DSTINVERT);
}
m_Image.ReleaseDC();

You help will be highly appreciated.

Sorry but I have not tried this myself, so I have no sample code.
