I want to use static buttons with invisible background to the text. does anyone know how to do that? I have a picture in the background, and when I use a static button, it has a gray background, which doesn't look nice at all....:-| !

Just a guess, but couldn't you use a .gif picture with a transparent background?

Here are several MFC button controls -- if you are using pure win32 api functions you can just strip out the MFC code and call win32 api functions directly.
Don't PM me with questions -- you might get a nasty PM in response. If you have a question then post it in one of the forums.

hmm, the last version of the Win32 API I used didn't allow for a transparent button background. But it didn't allow for pictures as backgrounds to windows either.

Of course that's the WinNT4 API, which is rather old
As people are clearly allowed to attack me but I'm not allowed to defend myself, I no longer post to this site.
