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.

Re: anyone understand win32 api?

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
