Transparent Controls

[ayulo]

How do you make Controls transparent!?!

I'm trying to make a CeikEdwin to be transparent.. I want the white background of CEikEdwin to be transparent, so i can see the display of the container control...

Is there a TRgb which has a Transparent constant?

AFAIK there is no TRgb constant for transparency.

Also i haven't seen anybody making transparent Edwins so far, so I would assume that there is no standard method for doing it.

I'm not sure if it will work, but you could try MFormCustomDraw::DrawBackground()
But I don't know if it works even for "real" background of the control or only for "text" background...

so if try to use black on white CEikEdwin like a mask then draw a custom bitmap with this mask????
