I am tryin to create a static control at runtime with the code below. It comes up fine but I cannot find any way of changing the background color so it matches up with the bg color of the parent window. Can anyone point me in the right direction?


case WM_CREATE:
{

HWND something = CreateWindowEx(WS_EX_TRANSPARENT, "STATIC", "", WS_CHILD | WS_VISIBLE, 0, 0, 100, 100, hwnd, (HMENU)test, GetModuleHandle(NULL), NULL);

SetDlgItemText(hwnd, something, "This is a test");

break;
}
