Thank you very much!

I have just worked on it for 5 hours.

And I can't believe it is so simple!

But I must admit it is true.

thanks, that works like a charm; i didn't even know TRgb could hold alpha channel information

as a side note, why on earth did they define the TRgb constructor that takes a hex value as a parameter to use the value in "reverse order" - blue, green, red, rather than the more logical rgb :|

I have actually never tried it, but I think it works to simply set alpha channel on the color you set for the Brush.

is there any way to draw a partially transparent rect with CWindowGc.DrawRect()?
i can easily bring an alpha channeled CFbsBitmap to "mask" the brush, but can't figure out if there's even a way to do that
