Hi Paul, I have looked at csOpaque but not much luck there... On the positive side, your suggestion leads me to the DrawFrameControl API, which will allow me to draw a radiobutton control (of standard states) to a temp canvas... Cool! Because Windows is doing the drawing for me, this means that if my App is running under XP, I'll still get the XP looking button... not 100% sure on that. But I'll give it a go.. Thanks for the suggestion!
