    Hello, I am creating an application that is stylistically similar to outlook express. I'd like to be able to create header or banner images, with anti-aliased text that can be changed dynamically. They would be displayed in the MainFrame, and would describe the nature of the current view (in outlook express, these are Inbox, Outbox, Sent Items, etc). At the moment I'm simply using CBitmaps that load bitmap resources. I guess the way to do this would be to create a class that inherits from CStatic or CBitmap, and uses GDI to draw the anti-aliased text. I'm at a bit of a loss as to how to proceed though - should I use an existing Codeproject class, or roll my own? My requirements really are simple - I want anti-aliased white text across a plain background, as a drop in replacement for my existing CBitmaps, that looks like outlook express. Regards, Sternocera
