Environment: VC++ 4.0, Win 95

I was wondering if anyone out there knew if it was possible to create an
edit control that has a transparent background.

Thanks for any help

Write a handler for WM_CTLCOLOR.  When this message is sent and the
parameters it carries indicate that the message is being sent to colour
your edit control, return a stock NULL_BRUSH from the function.  Make
sure you also set the background style to TRANSPARENT instead of OPAQUE
by calling SetBkMode().
