Hey, I noticed that W2000 is using a different background color for dialogs
and my bitmap buttons don't match.  Is there a way to make them transparent
so they pick show the dialog background color?  I didn't see a transparent
color in the palette of the bitmap editor in VC?

Can you set the background mode to be transparent?

pDC->SetBkMode(TRANSPARENT);

I don't use CBitmapButton, instead I have my own bitmap button class.
In this class, I load the bitmap telling it to map the first pixel
(top left corner) to the standard color, which gives the illusion of
transparency. If you want to check it out, see my Better Bitmap Button
download on my MVP Tips site.
