RE: CTreeCtrl Item labels - are painted with black background instead

 any help?

in my Tree control OnCustomDraw i have written code like this

void CLeftPaneTreeCtrl::OnCustomDraw(NMHDR* pNMHDR, LRESULT* pResult)
{
switch(pNMHDR->code)
{
case NM_CUSTOMDRAW:
{
LPNMTVCUSTOMDRAW lptvcd = (LPNMTVCUSTOMDRAW )pNMHDR;

//lptvcd->clrTextBk = CLR_NONE ;
//lptvcd->clrText = (RGB(0,0,255));

SetTextColor(RGB(255, 0, 0));
SetBkMode(lplvcd->nmcd.hdc,TRANSPARENT);

switch (lplvcd->nmcd.dwDrawStage)
{

case CDDS_PREPAINT:

// Need to process this case and set pResult to
// CDRF_NOTIFYITEMDRAW, otherwise parent will never receive
//CDDS_ITEMPREPAINT notification. (GGH)

*pResult = CDRF_NOTIFYITEMDRAW;
return;

}
}
}
}

in that code
SetTextColor(RGB(255, 0, 0)); works fine

SetBkMode(lplvcd->nmcd.hdc,TRANSPARENT); doesnt work ( it doesnt make
TreeCtrl lables trasparent

CLeftPaneTreeCtrl is Derived class of CTreeCtrl
My I am hosting TreeCtrl on CView derived class MyView

and
if i uncomment both the lined comented in the code

lptvcd->clrTextBk = CLR_NONE ; -> doent work it paints Black background
instead of transparent color

but any other color for eg lptvcd->clrTextBk = RGB(0,0,225) works fine

lptvcd->clrText = (RGB(0,0,255)); -> works fine

now I am not able to make lables trasparent

but one more thing ... the same method works fine in my CListCtrl with
respect to trasparent lables ... ofcouse there r some other probs butfirst i
wnana sort out the rpob with tree control transparent labels first

am looking for solution please help me out
