    You can put it in a dialog resource. No way around CreateWindow (or CreateWindowEx) in normal windows. Any special reason why there should be?

    As for transparent: You can try intercepting the WM_COLORCTLSTATIC message and return a null-brush. But I can't guarantee it will work.

    If you want text with transparent background in a normal window I recommend you draw it yourself.

    You mean with the static? I think it should be SetWindowText(HWND, LPCTSTR).

    Otherwise use GDI function DrawText()
    VS.NET 2003

    Need to email me?

    Look it up in the reference. You need to intercept WM_PAINT for this, but you need to do that anyway.
