How can I display a transparent PNG on Delphi 2007?

Question

The TImage control doesn't support PNG. Is there some third party component that will?

Try PngComponents - as long as they are available...

A D2009 version can be found here

EDIT
On Google code the following link for older versions of Delphi:

I think this is the best way to handle it. Just put it into the uses clause and it works. – Rohit Gupta Jun 29 '15 at 07:09

I have successfully used the TPaintBox component with the DevExpress TcxImageList which supports PNGs, and then drawn the images in the OnPaint using the list's facilities. Worked well. DevEx also have a TcxImage, but I've not tried that.
