BUG: Button Image on the Toolbar Appears Incomplete

MORE INFORMATION

Steps to Reproduce Behavior

1. Start a new project in Visual Basic. Form1 is created by default.
2. Double-click the Toolbar button in the toolbox to create a new instance of the Toolbar control, called Toolbar1.
3. Double-click the ImageList button in the toolbox to create a new instance of the ImageList control, called ImageList1.
4. Right-click the toolbar control to bring up the Properties dialog box. Change the ImageList property in the General tab to ImageList1. Click the Buttons tab, and click Insert Button to add a button to the toolbar.
5. Right-click the ImageList control to bring up its properties. Click the Images tab, and then click Insert Picture to insert a button image. (Look in \Vb\Bitmaps\Tlbr_w95 for sample bitmaps.)
6. Right-click Toolbar1, and then click the Buttons Tab. The Image property of the first button is set to 0 by default. Change it to a value of 1 to link the first button with the first image in ImageList1.

The image you have selected will appear on the toolbar; however, all black portions of the button will be masked out and will not appear. To fix this, change the MaskColor property of ImageList1 to a value other than black (remember that changes will only take effect if the toolbar is refreshed or if the program is run).

Every image in an ImageList collection has a corresponding mask associated with it. The mask is a monochrome image derived from the image itself, automatically generated using the MaskColor property as the specific color of the mask. This mask is not used directly, but is applied to the original bitmap in graphical operations such as the Overlay and Draw methods. For example, the MaskColor property determines which color of an image will be transparent in the Overlay method.
