Hi Guys,

  Iam working on Vc++, & came across a problem.Hope someone could help!.

  Iam Using device Context for diplaying things to the view.

  Initially,I write a "text" to the view using "TextOut" method - See Code:

  & Then using the "BRUSH" object to fill the rectangle with that colour,using "FillRect" method.Now the "text" which was displayed in the same postion before is not Visible anymore .

  My need ,is after writing a "Text" to the view & filling the rectangle containing the text with a colour,want the underlying "text" to be visible(which is not the case now).

  Ofcourse,I know that If I set the BackgroundColour atfirst & then write the "text" to the screen,then the "text" will be visible.

  But I would not be able to do so co's of some restrictions in my Project...



  I want the text "Shading test" to be displayed with the blue background colour.Constraint being,I can't Fill the rectangle with the colour & then draw the text.....

Would be nice if someone could suggest something to do in this regard with respect to the code below.

Thanks......


    pDC->SetBkMode(TRANSPARENT);
     CRect rect;
    GetClientRect(rect);
    rect.SetRect(0,0,800,800);
    pDC->Rectangle(CRect(0,0,800,800));

    SIZE size;
    size.cx = 1000;
    size.cy = 1000;
    SetScrollSizes(MM_TEXT,size);

    pDC->TextOut(50,20,"Shading Test");

    CRect rect1;
    rect1.SetRect(10,10,300,100);
    pDC->Rectangle(CRect(10,10,300,100));
    CBrush brushBlue(RGB(240,248,255));
    CBrush* pOldBrush = pDC->SelectObject(&brushBlue);
    pDC->FillRect(rect1,&brushBlue);
