| Hi all,
I'm working on a unicode-replacement for the VB-Controls... i already
finished some controls (Edit, Frame,
CheckBox, OptionButton, ComboBox, ListBox, FileListBox und DirListBox) ...
now i want to make a label-control... but after hours of testing i have no
idea, how i can make the usercontrol transparent and displaying the caption
with DrawTextW.
The trick i found in the MSDN is not what i want to do (making a
background-picture from the area the control is displayed)
Does anyone now, how i can display the DrawTextW-'painted' Text and having
the background of the control invisible?
MfG. Benedikt Hübschen

You might not be able to make it any simpler.
