SetBkMode function does not work!
My window has a grey background, and yet the SetBkMode is not doing anything, instead the text background is still white. Why isn't this working? The compiler doesn't chatch any errors or warnings.
HDC hdcStatic = (HDC)wParam;
TextOut(hdc, 20, 20, "Twelve", 12);
SetTextColor(hdcStatic, RGB(255, 255, 255));
SetBkMode(hdcStatic, TRANSPARENT);
Thanks, August.
So what are you drawing to?
"hdc" or "hdcStatic"?
If "hdc" is supposed to be "hdcStatic", you'll want to call TextOut() after you've set the text color and background mode.

Also, the last parameter to TextOut() is the length of the string, which should be 6.

Okay, I have changed it to this, but nothing is happening.
HDC hdcStatic = (HDC)wParam;
SetBkMode(hdcStatic, TRANSPARENT);
SetTextColor(hdcStatic, RGB(255, 255, 255));
TextOut(hdc, 20, 20, "Twelve", 6);
Hmmm well to my knowledge transparent static controls do not work correctly. When I tried to use them they failed. However I found some code on using transparent static controls on I believe codeguru.com. Search for it on google... hopefully you will find it.
What is the end result that you are trying to achieve?
What message is being handled in that code? WM_CTLCOLORSTATIC?
Why are you calling TextOut() on "hdc" and not "hdcStatic"??
