I'm trying to draw a system icon but it is not displaying correctly.

TIcon *Icon = new Graphics::TIcon;
Icon->Handle = ::LoadIcon(0, IDI_QUESTION);
::DrawIcon(imgIcon->Canvas->Handle, 0, 0, Icon->Handle);
....
delete Icon;


I tried drawing on the form canvas and nothing was shown.  I then tried a
TImage.  This works except for the following:

1) when Transparency is enabled the icon does not show the white area (it
becomes the transparent colour)

2) when transparency is not enabled I get a white box surrounding the system
icon image.

How do I get the best of both worlds so I get the icon to display correctly
?
