Hello members.. I have tried to make a transparent edit control with a transparent background. The edit has a transparent background, but the repaint and the text delete is not working properly. The text gets overlapped, doesn't delete upon pressing BackSpace. IDK what am I missing. Thanks for your time and help I'm new to GDI+ and hence I took some references, the following are the respective links.. http://www.drx.dk/bktxtedit.php http://codepad.org/ajqIvwl1 http://forum.tuts4you.com/topic
