Enrico,

You have to modify the Class TBar not to use WS_CLIPCHILDREN style, but then you will get some "flickering" when resizing the window.

Another way is to use oBar:bPainted and call oBar:Say( ... ) from it.

Mr Antonio

Yes
In 2007 style, obar:say in obar:bpainted gives transparent look. Normal Say does not make it transparent

In non 2007 3D style Say works transparently

It would be nice if you can give us a consistent behaviour in 3D and 2007. This helps us to avoid conditional coding.

[Antonio Linares]

NageswaraRao,

As we use a gradient for the background, then we can only remove WS_CLIPCHILDREN from Class TBar, but that will bring some "flickering"
