invisible background on Radio button

[Semen Matusovski]

chris -
a sample in http://www.powerbasic.com/support/pb...ead.php?t=2221 is much shorter.

but actually better to avoid "transparent" (not possible to use ws_clipschildren + not possible to change a text w/o whole redrawing).

Chris, did you try that change "BUTTON" to "OPTION" in SMTP.BAS?

Lance;

I have tried producing a transparent background with the Radio button
control and the checkbox and I couldn't get it to work.

It does work with the Static control (I use them for Label controls),
but not with other controls.

Can someone show me a sample program where it works ?

Maybe I did something wrong. I got it to work with the Static control
but failed with the Radio button.

I assume you mean transparent, rather than invisible?

Just handle %WM_CTLCOLORSTATIC, exactly as shown in the SMTP.BAS example file:

' The following line was originally a BUTTON in SMTP, but by 
' changing it to an OPTION button, you can see the transparent effect:
 CONTROL ADD OPTION, hDlgMain, %IDOK, "&Send", 275, 232, 40, 14, %BS_DEFPUSHBUTTON OR %WS_TABSTOP CALL OkButton
...
    CASE %WM_CTLCOLORSTATIC
      SelectObject CBWPARAM, hFont
      SetBkMode CBWPARAM, %TRANSPARENT
      SetTextColor CBWPARAM, %YELLOW
      FUNCTION = GetStockObject(%NULL_BRUSH)

Anybody know a way of making invisible background on a Radio button?
