[archive] check-box with wrun32_nativectls config-variable

[Migrated content. Thread originally posted on 20 January 2009]

The appearance of the text of a check-box when using the wrun32_nativectls config-variable is the same as a label without the transparent-style. Only for a check-box this style cannnot be added.
Is there a way to resolve this problem?

We have also noticed the same problem. It also occurs with radio buttons and frames with titles. You can kind of get around the issue with radio buttons and check boxes by adding them without labels and then using a label control as the title for the check box or radio button. I personally don't like this because you cannot click on the title to select the item, you must click on the actual radio button or check box. We were not able to find a work around for the frames with titles. Until they come up with a way for use to set a transparency color for the radio buttons, check boxes and frames, we will not be using this feature.

thank you; I also tried to resolve the problem by adding a color-property to the check-box, which does work, but the result might be different on different systems, so we probably won't be using this feature too until something comes up.
