How to make background of uicontrols transparent?

G.A.M. — Tue, 28 Aug 2007 22:32:47 -0400

I'd like the text of static text controls to be black and
the background to be transparent so it looks the same as the
figure background. Is this possible? Thanks

h=uicontrol('style','text','string','hello');
parentColor = get(get(h, 'parent'), 'color');
set(h,'foregroundcolor', [0 0 0], ...
'backgroundcolor', parentColor);
