Transparent Edit Box with Background Picture

Uhm. Well. You right diablo2002. I can try to post some code about this.

OK I modified EGOIST's code (it has no problems with selection), I think it flickers at moderate rate now.

I think it would be VERY easy for a programmer tp use ramguru's example in a project to make a better looking 'About' box, not to mention a ton of other uses especially when programming 'dialog as main' type applications.  This is very useful code!  Thanks, ramguru!  :U

Thanks to diablo2oo2 actually  :red, I just fixed some bugs.

I think there is plenty of thanks to go around.  You guys have done a nice job.  I said what I said because he also said that.

i think ramgurus solution is best one so far.

Anyway, I am still playing with it so that it will respond to mouse clicks.  I haven't tried the last posting by diablo2oo2, but so far, none of the versions handle this event.  You can drag the mouse over the text to highlight it and this will work correctly.  If you change your mind you should be able to click anywhere in the box and the highlight should go away.  It doesn't.
