For the static control - return GetStockObject(NULL_BRUSH)
from your WM_CTLCOLORSTATIC message handler (note you
need a resource ID for your static control in oder to identify
it, unless you want all static controls transparent).

For the trackbar (slider) control read up on NM_CUSTOMDRAW.
I expect you'll need to select a NULL brush in the HDC when
handling CDDS_ITEMPREERASE.

Don't forget to remove the WS_CLIPCHILDREN style of the
parent window (dialog)...

Hi,

I have an ATL Dialog without supporting MFC which contains a background
image. How can i make transparent the static and slider control in my
dialog .

I cant see WM_Controlcolor msg in my Dialog. Also when i tried to

Somebody please help
