Hi !
I've tried to create transparent windows (ie those windows which you can
place ontop of other windows without obscuring it or its contents ) using MFC
without much success.
What I tried was to use CWnd::CreateEx(). However, I notice that
the documentation in MFC does not mention that you can use
WS_TRANSPARENT_EX as an extended window style, although this function
is supposed to be equivalent to ::CreateWindowEx().
I also created a class to use the null brush and use this class
in the CreateEx() as an argument. The window is created but it does
not appear to be transparent.
Also, if a program gives an address like 0003:1234 as the place
where an error occurs, how does one know which statement does it
translate to in the MFC source code.
Can some kind soul please advise? Thanks in advance.
