RADIO from source code are not Trasparent ?

[Davide]

Hello all.

The small sample below produces the attached image in not themed OS's (under XP or Vista it's ok: radio background is white). Do you know how can I solve it ?
Thanks,
Davide

The radio items are transparent with FWH 7.12, when i tested the same code ( with different bitmap ofcourse).

nageswaragunupudi,

The radio items are transparent with FWH 7.12, when i tested the same code ( with different bitmap ofcourse).

Thank you for testing that code. I have even FWH 7.10, but haven't had time to reapply my custom changes to the standard classes yet.

However I made additional tests and the problem doesn't seem to be related to themes because it works as expected even on Win98 and Win2K

It seems that code behaves that way only on Windows Server 2003. Installing the Service Pack 2 didn't cure it.
On that system, I've also noticed that labels in groupboxes (from resources, in other dialogs) are not transparent too (if this can shad any lights on you).

Could you please send me your compiled sample at "guolo [dot] davide [at] tiscali [dot] it" so that I can test it on my server ?

Thank you,
Davide
