I am createing a checkbox that is a child window of a tab control.

The checkbox is not displaying the text as transparent with the
tab control. Can anyone tell me how to set the text to
transparent for the check box?

I have a pic of the checkbox on the tab control.

here is the creating code for the check box:

CreateWindowEx 0, lpClassName, lpWindowName, WS_CHILD Or BS_AUTOCHECKBOX, lpRect.Left, lpRect.Top, 200, lpMetrics.tmHeight + 2, mlngTab, 0, glngApp, 0
