Does anyone have an example of this? I was thinking it would be kind of
cool to put in a watermark/bitmap behind a RichEdit control... What would
also be cool is if it could dim/brighten the image thats behind the
control. Sorta like reducing the rgb values a bit or something. Not really
sure what I want :) But if you know where to find some source thats
something like this or a transparent RichEdit Control please let me know

Thanks,

Hi Chris,

There's two places I know where you can maybe get some information.

and

Hope it will help.

Hi, Chris.

My best information, confirmed through my tests, is that you cannot
create a transparent RE control using RE 1.0 (which is what plain old
TRichEdit uses).  You can do it with RE 2.0 and 3.0.  There is
information on this on my site
(http://home.att.net/~robertdunn/Yacs.html), on the FAQs page, I think.

HTH.
