Okay, I was working on Loading Bitmap Color Tables, and was getting nowhere fast, so I decided to take a break. After little while I, for the fun of it, decided to try and implement GradientRect from the WinAPI. I got the basic framework in place real easy, added Horizontal and Vertical Rectangle support, added some sanity checks, and a few other minor details. Everythings works great with Rectangles, but I cannot figure out how to do a three way/vertice, aka triangle Gradient. I am completely in the dark on such a beast.. So does anybody out there on the mailinglist know how such a thing is accomplished? Or how I can add Transparency/Alpha Blending support? I know, it a pointess routine.. but I figure if I'm going to try and implement as much of the WIN32 GDI as possible I might as well add as full a support as I can for this routine too. If not I am not going to spend much more time on it, but I figure, we can at least add a Gradient background too any installers made with the LCL ;-)
