Sorry, Christian, I was just about to go home. It's been a long day. Cheers, Duc Truong In programming you can do anything (by Paul DiLascia)

Has anybody tried to put a bitmap background on a CRichEditView? I've tried to use GetRichEditCtrl().ModifyEx (0, WS_EX_TRANSPARENT) and it did give me a transparent background CRichEditCtrl. However, I can't paint the background of the view! How come ON_WM_ERASEBKGND message is NOT sent to the CRichEditView? Any help will be appreciated.
