Transparent say over a bitmap

[Otto]

I would like to print a TRANSPARENT say over a BITMAP.
Is this possible?
Thanks in advance

Otto,

Use oBmp:Say( ... ) instead of placing a SAY control on top of it.

Hello Antonio,

thank you for your answer.
I tried yesterday with oBmp:Say before I tried using placing a SAY control on top.

Now as you suggested oBmp:Say I tried again but there are some problems:
I would like to use the oBmp as a kind of pointer to show where I have clicked.

1) I must hide and show the bmp
2) I have to clear the text

Attached I have my test code.
The problem is that you have to click twice to show the bitmap.

And could you please show me how to clear the oBmp:say or how to repaint the bmp without text?

Thanks in advance
Otto
