Background Bleedthrough

I've seen this problem before, it was easy to fix, but I don't remember.

Sometimes there is blledthrough from the 'git-go'.

Sometimes it looks right until you switch to another window and come back.

Found the cause of blled-through on the 2 static controls.
Adding a static text control with the dialog editor puts a 'B' on the end of the flags number.
Changing that to a 0,1, or 2(for left, center, right alignment) makes that portion of the problem go away.

Still haven't figured out the @group control's problem.

Found the problem with @groupbox

Searching the old IBasic forums for everything that had @groupbox in it I found a series of post from May 2005 where someone was having the same basic problem.

The soultion was,in a nutshell, that groupboxes are for dialogs and not for windows.  use a static text box and a rect to get the same look in a window.
