Problem:
The easiest is to use a BITMAP as a background, having previously used the MS Api SetBkMode with the TRANSPARENT option...

Another way is to use the Microsoft API Rectangle as done in the demo attached to this KB

Rectangle
The Rectangle function draws a rectangle. The rectangle is outlined by using the current pen and filled by using the current brush.
BOOL Rectangle(
HDC hdc, // handle to DC
int nLeftRect, // x-coord of upper-left corner of rectangle
int nTopRect, // y-coord of upper-left corner of rectangle
int nRightRect, // x-coord of lower-right corner of rectangle
int nBottomRect // y-coord of lower-right corner of rectangle
);
Parameters
hdc
[in] Handle to the device context.
nLeftRect
[in] Specifies the x-coordinate, in logical coordinates, of the upper-left corner of the rectangle.
nTopRect
[in] Specifies the y-coordinate, in logical coordinates, of the upper-left corner of the rectangle.
nRightRect
[in] Specifies the x-coordinate, in logical coordinates, of the lower-right corner of the rectangle.
nBottomRect
[in] Specifies the y-coordinate, in logical coordinates, of the lower-right corner of the rectangle.
