problem with dialog box background

Hi,

I am creating a dialog box that has a gradient background and is using the toolkit's buttons, however the static and group box background is not repainted with the background, does anyone have an idea how to blend the background with the one of the dialog. I did try the transparent property, but it did not work. I am attaching a screen shot and I think it will explain everything.

Thanks in advance for your help.

 

That wil only change the solid color, not allow gradiants, won't it?

Thanks that worked,

for other people's reference here is what I used:

inside the OnCtlColor handler

HBRUSH hbr;

if( nCtlColor == CTLCOLOR_STATIC )

{

pDC->SetBkMode(TRANSPARENT);

hbr = (HBRUSH)GetStockObject( NULL_BRUSH );

}

else

{

hbr = CXTPDialog::OnCtlColor(pDC, pWnd, nCtlColor);

}

Hello,

i found a solution.
Use xtResizeNoClipChildren.
But if size icon is visible and the dialog is resized, the are painting troubles.
Is there also a way to make the sizeIcon transparent ?

    Thanx
