CXTResizeGroupBox Background Color

Message Topic Search Topic Options Post Reply Create New Topic Printable Version Translate Topic

   Hi,

I'm trying to make a CXTResizeGroupBox control that I created dynamically either transparent or to have the same background color as the main window.

(I'm creating the control inside an OCX.)

I created the control with:

m_gbGroup1.Create(_T("Group 1"), WS_CHILD | WS_VISIBLE | BS_GROUPBOX, CRect(5, 5, 100, 60), this, IDC_GROUPBOX_1);

I tried adding WS_EX_TRANSPARENT and failed.

I also tried setting the background color in WM_CTLCOLOR handler, but only the caption's background is changed and the rest of the control is not.

Any help would be appreciated.

Thanks.

Regards,

Kuan
