[RESOLVED] Common Control Question: Slider

[Fedhax]

I'm to a point where I would like to add a slider to my application, but the common control Slider ( ComCtl32.OCX or MSComCtl.OCX ) is underpowered for what I want to do--much to my surprise.

My quest was to make a transparent slider using API calls like SetBKMode. However, no matter what I do with these calls, I can't seem to override the control's default functionality. Is there a way to do it without having to subclass this one control?

It appears my options for a slider that doesn't clash with my color scheme is:

• Create my own control
• Subclass the existing control
• Use a third party control

Any ideas, tips, or directions in which to point me?
