[Lazarus] TImageList.AddMasked not working with TBitmap.PixelFormat := pf32bit

[Boian Mitov]

      Hi Mark,

Thank you!
The reason I need to use pf32bit is that I manipulate the raw image, and I 
access the pixels as integers. I can't do that if the image is 24 bit. I 
actually don't care about the Alpha channel in this case.

  AScanLineImage:=TLazIntfImage.Create(0,0);
  AImgFormatDescription.Init_BPP32_B8G8R8_BIO_TTB(Images.Width,Images.Height);
  AScanLineImage.DataDescription := AImgFormatDescription;

    for Y :=0 to AScanLineImage.Height-1 do
      begin
      Ptr := AScanLineImage.GetDataLineStart( Y );
      for X := 0 to AScanLineImage.Width-1 do
        begin
        AColor := TColor( Ptr^ and $FFFFFF );
         if( AColor = clWhite ) then
          Ptr^ := AGlyphColor

        else if( AColor = clGray ) then
          Ptr^ := ABorderColor

        else if( ASecondaryArea and ( AColor = clRed )) then
          Ptr^ := ABorderColor

        else if( AColor = clLtGray ) then
          Ptr^ := AHalfToneColor

        else if( AColor = clBlack ) then
          Ptr^ := AButtonColor
   ....
   ....
    AIntfImage.CopyPixels( AScanLineImage );
    ABitmap.LoadFromIntfImage( AIntfImage );

    Images.ReplaceMasked( ImageIndex, ABitmap, InvertColor( AUniqueColor ));

As you can see I need this so I can access the pixels fast as a raw image, 
and need to get the image back. This is significantly more complex in 24 bit 
image, so the need for 32 bit image being added as masked is obvious.

With best regards,
