thanks i made it working :) it was the showWindow property wrong set.
Now I have this other problem :
I have the first form set properly to work with transaprency, when it calls another form it should encrease its transparency and it works...but how should i set the second form that should appear on the top with no transparency and possibly on the same screen of the first one ?
:(
I think I'd better turn back to my old forms :)

>>hi there, i was trying to add transparency capabilities to my base form declared in a vcx class.
>>Well i can't :(
>>if i try defining a form from within a procedure it is ok but when i try to
>>put commands inside the vcx it does not work
>>
>>how can i do ?
>>thank you all
