Black painted if SetLayeredWindowAttributes is called.

[guitz]

Hi,

well I have a usual dialog based application with a resizable dialog. Because I have some regions which gonna be transparent, I make in the OnInitDialog the following call:

  const COLORREF crTransparent  = RGB( 255,   0,   0 );
  LONG dwNewLong = GetWindowLong(m_hWnd, GWL_EXSTYLE) | WS_EX_LAYERED;
  SetWindowLong(m_hWnd, GWL_EXSTYLE, dwNewLong);
  SetLayeredWindowAttributes( crTransparent, 0, LWA_COLORKEY);

The MFC (or whoever) makes a not so funny black painting of the region which will be bigger then the initial dialog. Without calling 'SetLayeredWindowAttributes' the black painting is not happend.

I tried to override the erase of background like this:

BOOL CBlaBlaTestDlg::OnEraseBkgnd(CDC* pDC)
{
      CRect rect;
      GetWindowRect(&rect);     // Erase the area needed
      ScreenToClient(&rect);
      pDC->FillSolidRect(&rect, RGB(0,255,0));
      return TRUE;
}

but ... no chance, they are ... almighty. First apears the black painting, then my green solid rect.
Has anyone, any idea how can I avoid this black painting ???
Thanks in advance!

Best regards,
Emil
