From: Karl Wochele on 9 Jun 2008 04:56 Hi John, you could try: oFixedText:BackGround := Brush{BRUSHHOLLOW} This should work.

From: John Martens on 9 Jun 2008 03:58 Jorge, This does also make no change. I now use a red BMP to show first and then the text. The background of the text is white (and not red as it would be when the background of the FT would is transparant) Regards, John Jorge Rosado schreef: > Hi John, > > Try this: > > oDCoFixedText:lUseDrawText := false > > Regards, > > Jorge Rosado

Ok, Try to set the property of the fixedtext control first: oDCoFixedText:SetExStyle(WS_EX_TRANSPARENT,true) Jorge Rosado -- "John Martens" <adsl672100(a)tiscali.nl> escreveu na mensagem news:484ce2a2$0$24393$5fc3050(a)news.tiscali.nl... > Jorge, > > This does also make no change.
