In the EmptyPanel plug-in the static text has a gray background in illustrator. How can i change to be transparent ?

Hi everybody.

I'm new in the Illustrator SDK, and I don't know how can I change the background of STATIC control in the EmptyPanel plug-in to be transparent.

If I make a Check box or a Radio box, the text background is transparent but not for the Static control.

Neither if I put the TRANSPARENT flag.

Thanks for your help.

This is a Win32 api issue rather than anything to do with the Illustrator SDK, see for example:
