This is not exactly what you seem to be asking for, but there is an example here that uses MaskBlt and a mask that I created in Paint to make the corners of playing-card bitmaps transparent. It should be possible to automate the creation of the mask, but for the simple example it was easier to make one in Paint.

You can write your own routine to do it quite easily using dib sections. Is this what you mean?

as for the image...
there are many ways to do it
but i would make the image a transparency

i want to add a couple notes....

you can set the background color when you register a window class
for the 3 child windows (RHLWin), i used 0 for the hbrBackground member of the WNDCLASSEX structure
that means that no background is drawn
i did that because i knew i was going to fill the entire window with an image

also, when you use a bitmap in a static control, the static control sizes itself to the image
so, you only need worry about the x and y position - the size will take care of itself
