Hi Saso,

One way to create a transparent-type form is to define the shape of your
window via a custom GDI region object; specifically, a region that includes
only the non-transparent areas of your form (e.g., the title-bar, resizing
border, and child controls).  See these articles...

(Note that Windows 2000/XP+ supports natively translucent and transparent
forms; see
http://www.bridgespublishing.com/articles/issues/0103/Transparent_2000.htm.)

Good luck,
