Draw multiple overlapping EDIT controls without visible black line borders

[Skysnake]

I am attempting to draw multiple edit controls partially overlapping, creating the appearance of a single huge label.

This is for a read only report.  Unfortunately, each box comes with its own quaint little black edge.

How do I remove this black edge?

Skysnake,

The border comes from the default extended style $WS_EX_CLIENTEDGE. So just use 0 in the extended style parameter when you create the edit control to remove it.

You're using "magic" numbers, burn at the stake.
