A Newbee question - transparent frames on dialog

[Robert Floyd]

This is my first try with PB Forms (v1.51) and PB/Win (v8.04.0042). I used PB Forms to modify a fairly complicated dialog box imported from VB6. It has many frames, option boxes, text boxes, etc. and I have modified it heavily since moving it to PB Forms.

Anyway, I compile the form (I've added no code) in PB/Win without error and execute it. The odd thing that happens is that the free space within all of the frames takes on whatever background is behind the dialog on the screen The small title portion at the top of the frame has the correct (plain) background and all the controls within the frame have the correct background, but any free space within the frame is painted with whatever was behind the dialog at startup.

I've looked hard for a setting to solve this in the properties dialog, but can't find anything useful there.

It's probably a simple, dumb something or other, but I'm stumped. Any help would be appreciated.

Thanks,
Bob

[Richard Angell]

Bob,

Please post your dialog code and it's callback, or even the whole program. ha way perhaps more help will be forthcoming more quickly. I've not had this problem with frames though, perhaps someone else has.
