Does ImageList_DrawIndirect with fState = ILS_ALPHA works on Windows XP?

Question

We need to draw partially transparent images from a WinAPI imagelist.

ImageList_DrawIndirect() with ILS_ALPHA works fine in Win7, but doesn't work in Windows XP - the transparent regions of the icon are grey.

The result looks like this:

According to MSDN `ILS_ALPHA` is supported on XP. The problem is probably the surface on which you are drawing. — David Heffernan, Nov 24 '11 at 18:20

Sounds like your application isn't using version 6 of CommCtl32. Normally, you need to include a manifest in your application to let it use version 6.
