OK Minerva  MwtGEglfW
I have been disappointed by QB64 needing _RGB32 colors that the &H.... ones don't work as constants without some added suffixes either in constant name Yikes! or in number value Yikes ^2. Of course I don't remember which because the rules changed somewhere around the v2.0. I find this out when I use Point().
We can't say &B1011 for a binary number but we have to say &HFFFFFFFF~& for Constant White.

Hmmm... I believe you, but why the heck is this test not working for alpha values?
And why am I wasting my Saturday on this nonsense?! LoL.
If anyone can find what's wrong, great, if not, I understand if you have better things to do!

The issue is really rather simple -- all your values that you're comparing *ARE* exactly the same.
Let me ask you guys a simple question and then you tell me what happens: What happens when you put a 50 alpha image onto an already existing image?
Say for example, you normally have a pure black screen: 255 alpha, 0 red, 0 green, 0 blue.
Now, you decide to put a faded white color onto that screen: 50 alpha, 255 red, 255 green, 255 blue.
What is the final result that you get? Does it just add everything together and then divide by two? 150 alpha, 150 red, 150 green, 150 blue??
Think about it....
If you don't know, and don't want to give it a try to test, I'll go ahead and give you the answer:
When two colors blend together, the end result is a color with 255 alpha. Poll your display screen at any time you want, and check the alpha levels on it. 255. 255. 255. 255. Blend whatever you want onto it. 255. 255. 255. Toss full alpha at it... 255. 255. 255. Toss zero alpha at it.... 255. 255. 255. Toss 125 alpha at it.... 255. 255. 255. (Those 255's are your alpha levels.)
As long as blending is on, your display is always going to blend to 255 alpha. Your alpha check is telling you that all the screen colors have the same level of alpha with your display because they do!
Don't want that blending to blend everything to 255 alpha?

bplus's demo, modified to just check alpha levels and not colors themselves:
Code: (Select All) Screen _NewImage(800, 600, 32)
Dim i As Long
For i = 0 To 255
Cls
Line (100, 100)-Step(100, 100), _RGB32(255, 0, 0, i), BF
Line (300, 100)-Step(100, 100), _RGB32(255, 0, 0), BF
If _Alpha32(Point(150, 150)) = _Alpha32(Point(350, 150)) Then
Print "When alpha ="; i; " have NO difference, zzz ..."
Else
Print "When alpha ="; i; " have difference, zzz ..."
End If
Print Hex$(Point(150, 150)), Hex$(Point(350, 150))
Sleep
Next
Modified to print the actual color values that are on the screen for you.

Code: (Select All) Print _Alpha32(_RGB32(150, 0, 0)), _Alpha32(_RGB32(150, 0, 0, 0))
Print _Alpha32(_RGB32(150, 0, 0)), _Alpha32(_RGB32(150, 0, 0, 255))

Yes?? Is there a question in there somewhere?
_RGBA32 has no trouble giving you a zero alpha color value. But you having PSET that color onto your screen where it's blended with anything yet.... It's the PSET atop another color where the blending occurs, resulting in a 255 alpha color from the mixture.
