browser window not visible

[young_s]

I am working on a mac/pc project with an embedded browser window within a custom shaped window. The browser image is becomes visible and displays a website when a button is pushed.

The Mac stand-alone works fine, but the PC stand-alone does not display the browserimage. I can mouseover the area of the browserimage and the tooltip (Google) pops up, telling me that the code works, but it is not showing the browser. If I revert the window shape to 0, the browserimage works. I have tried this on XP and Windows 7 with the same result.

Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

Hi Youngs,

There is an incompatibility between particular images and the browser child window. Try changing the picture. I don't remember exactly what it the problem is, but I do remember solving this issue before. Might have to do something with 32 bit mode or the alpha mask. If you start with a very simple picture, without transparency, as a window shape, you will see that it renders correctly. From there, you should be able to figure out what's wrong with the picture you want to use.

Best,

Mark
