Dialog items support only 8-bit images ?

Which type? The Picture type does support 32-bit images, AFAIK. You'll have to specify a GBMP resource for that, not a GICN.

Thanks Akos,

Yes i was using GICN.
But GBMP is only usable with 'STR#' menu or with 'GDLG' dialog also ?

I specified my picture as GBMP but for unknown reason i get error "file not found"

'GBMP' 32500 "picture" { 
			"picture" 
}

Yes, there is a separate Picture type dialog item (similar to Icon). On the other hand, icon buttons and the like can only use icons, not pictures.
