Hello, I am working on an mfc application. In it I am using a static control and a checkbox. I am using a Picture control on top of it i have placed the checkbox and static control. The problem is that the background of checkbox and static control is not tranparent as a result of which the picture colour and background colours of the controls are not matching.. please help me. Thanks & regards. Dhiraj Kumar Saini

You might want this.

case WM_CTLCOLORDLG:
case WM_CTLCOLORSTATIC:
{
HDC hdc = (HDC) wParam;
HWND hwndStatic = (HWND) lParam;
HBRUSH hbrBkcolor = (HBRUSH)GetStockObject(NULL_BRUSH);

if (hwndStatic == GetDlgItem(hWnd, IDC\_STATIC\_CONTROL))
{
	SetBkMode(hdc, TRANSPARENT);
	return (LRESULT) hbrBkcolor;
}
    break;

}

Same stuff do with your Check Box also.. Hope this help.

Greets. You could try handling the WM_CTLCOLOR (or WM_CTLCOLORBTN and/or WM_CTLCOLORSTATIC) messages in the parent window and return a NULL brush. Am not sure that would work, haven't tried it but it's worth a shot.
