Before you begin:
Download the original image file before testing this code sample. Otherwise use any image file, preferably with dimensions not exceeding 300 pixels.



The code is based on custom GDI+ class. Download the class module first and save it in gdiplus.prg file.

* * *
The source image on the left is displayed in VFP Image control. The image on the right is loaded from the same graphics file and drawn on the the form via GDI+ calls with a single color made transparent.

The cursor position over the source image (Image1.MouseMove) specifies min ARGB value in the color transparent range. To assign the maximum value left click within the source image.
