ABAP: How to show transparent Image in cl_gui_custom_container?

Question

I would like to show a logo with transparency at the top of my dynpro custom container using the cl_gui_picture.

At the moment I am using the class cl_ssf_xsf_utilities to get an bmp out of the BDS.

The last step is the method load_picture_from_url from cl_gui_picture.

Is it possible to load an image like a gif or something with transparency?

Thanks! =)

Answer 1

I expect the background color from the underlying SAP GUI Theme to appear. In the meantime I solved the problem by using the SAP Web Repository because it can handle GIF's with transparency. I used the function module "DP_PUBLISH_WWW_URL" to get the url for "cl_gui_picture".
