[Mingw-users] Possible bug with WS_EX_LAYERED Windows

[ironhead <iro...@ro...>]

Hey All,

I've got a window that uses the system colour as it's background.  With
the WS_EX_LAYERED window attribute set (and using the
SetLayeredWindowAttibute function in user32.dll) the window does not get
repainted when changing the system colours.  Without the WS_EX_LAYERED
attribute set, it repaints itself with the proper colours fine when
changing the system colour.

Anybody know if there is an issue with MinGW and WS_EX_LAYERED, or is
there something else I need to do when enabling the WS_EX_LAYERED
attribute?

Thanx!

Chris
