Is there anyway to draw transparent text on an black rectangle (without
using a temporary bitmap) in GDI Plus?

This should leave etched out letters in a black area through which I can see
the background.

Any ideas?

Paul Wardle

Use a GraphicsPath object with a rectangle the same size as the area you
wish to cover and the text inside. This will create an area that has text
shaped holes in it.
