Hello,

What I am trying to accomplish is to display a borderless (no titlebar)
frame/dialog/panel on its own, which will have a see through, opague(false)
or transparent, attribute. Any controls on this object would appear as if
sitting on the desktop.

For example, I want to display a transparent image of a solid circle (with
transparent color around the circle); I then want to see only the cirlce on
the desktop and see the desktop around the circle; not a frame around the
circle. How would I achieve this?

Appreciate any tips or comments on this. Please respond email to
ecarmody@home.com

Cheers,
Eric
