Unfortunately, that won't work. If you're using CRichEditView, you're using RichEdit 1.0. &nbsp;RichEdit 1.0 doesn't draw transparent text. You can't handle it's erase background, and you can't subclass it's painting to convince it to do so.<br />
<br />
You're just out of luck.<br />
<br />
RichEdit 2.0 can help you do what you want, but it is not yet supported by MFC.<br />

Does anyone know if it is possible to put a background image behind a RichEdit control or a CRichEditView derived window.<br />
I know how to change the background color, but need to place a bitmap behind the control. &nbsp;Do I need the bitmap in a window behind the RichEdit one?<br />
<br />
I need to make it look like the text is being typed over an image. &nbsp;

C++ is an intermediate-level general-purpose programming language, not to be confused with C or C#. It was developed as a set of extensions to the C programming language to improve type-safety and add support for automatic resource management, object-orientation, generic programming, and exception handling, among other features.
