Transparent colour on ImageList doesn't work on button?

[A Ratcliffe]

Should be simple, but...

Wanted to put some nice bitmaps on my First/Previous/Next/Last buttons, so I
created four 16-colour bitmaps (as a test), used the traditional magenta
colour for the transparent, and added an ImageList to the Form. I added the
images to the ImageList, set the Transparent colour to Magenta, used the
ImageList for the button images, and.....

I still see the magenta on the buttons when I run the form...

Any ideas?

Thanks in Advance for any help,

Solved - Guess who forgot to tell the ImageList that the images were 4bit,
not 8bit ;(

Thanks,
