Has anyone using wxWidgets ever make a wxStaticText control to display a label text, and have the background shine through the text? Everything I try gets me the same results: the static text is rendered with the normal window background color, and the stuff that's under that does not get shown. I have a bitmap drawn on the parent panel and I want to text to overlay it without hiding the bitmap with it's background. Thanks for any help.

Anybody know how to get transparent background on static text using wxWidgglets?

It may help even is in MFC....!!!
