Hi Jay,
some time ago I found a small class written by Larry Miller in 2000. I definetly don't know anymore where it came from (UT perhaps? ;-) )
This class makes only the form itself transparent. Objects stay opaque, so all you have to do is
Drop the class on the form and name it oTrans
in Thisform.init put this code:
Thisform.oTrans.oFormRef = Thisform
Thisform.oTrans.SetFormTransparent(Thisform)
Set these Props
Thisform.BackColor = RGB(254,254,254)
Thisform.Borderstyle = 0
Thisform.TitleBar = 0
Then place some rounded shapes on it and have fun ;-)
I could mail you the class, as its public domain. Its to big to place it here, though. But I'm sure, someone will be able to locate it in the UT download archive. Its called frmtrans.vcx
Best Regards
-Tom
Debugging is twice as hard as writing the code in the first place.
Therefore, if you write the code as cleverly as possible, you are,
by definition, not smart enough to debug it.
