Hello,

I managed to change the look and feel of my dialog box.

However the static text that was there before on the dialog box is
appearing within the default dialog grey box. How do I make the text merge with the bitmap or should I discard the text and simply paint these in over the image?

Thanks,
Garyc

You could hold it in the resources
to request its position and text (by ID !=IDC_STATIC),
hide it in OnInitDialog() but draw in OnPaint():)
