wxpython: wxbitmap transparency

[James Tan]

Dear Jeff,

i've done the same thing...
masking it and setmask on the wxbitmap
but it did not work...
i think it's cox i've insert wxbitmap into the wxstaticbitmap
but i've set the window style of the wxstaticbitmap to transparent.
it still doesn't work.

any advice?

thank you.

best regards,

James
