if you created a window with out mentioning the backround color it will be transparent , but only at first , it will take the screen's photo and this will be the baground of the window. eg: winclass.style= CS_DBLCLKS | CS_OWNDC | CS_HREDRAW | CS_VREDRAW; winclass.cbClsExtra = 0; winclass.cbWndExtra = 0; winclass.hInstance = hinstance; winclass.hIcon = LoadIcon(NULL, IDI_APPLICATION); winclass.hCursor = LoadCursor(NULL, IDC_ARROW); /* winclass.hbrBackground = (HBRUSH)GetStockObject(BLACK_BRUSH); */ /* the upper line will be canceled or you must not mention a color */ /* eg: winclass.hbrBackground = (HBRUSH)GetStockObject(112); */ /* the color '112' is not included in thre list of colors (not defined) */ winclass.lpszMenuName = NULL; winclass.lpszClassName = WINDOW_CLASS_NAME;
