Semi transparaent brush

[ajaywinds]

Hi,

I wants to create a semi transparent brush to paint over a dialog. Could you pls suggest some solutions in such a way that, I can change the transparency of brush with a variable.
I am aware about SetLayaredWindow and Alphalending. But I want know whether with Brush I can do the same.

You should set the background mode of the target device context TRANSPARENT using SetBkMode and then draw on it using your brush. The brush itself can not be transparent.
