Creating a text label with a transparent background using WinAPI?

I've found something that appears to be working, though since I am very new to programming in pure WinAPI this could well be very bad practice and I would have no idea!

I cant really gove you an answer,but what I can give you is a way to a solution, that is you have to find the anglde that you relate to or peaks your interest. A good paper is one that people get drawn into because it reaches them ln some way.As for me WW11 to me, I think of the holocaust and the effect it had on the survivors, their families and those who stood by and did nothing until it was too late.
