Frames

Hiyas,

Is it possible to make a Frame's background transparent?

Thanks,

-Git

Try this:

Code:

---

Private Declare Function SetWindowLong Lib "user32" Alias "SetWindowLongA" (ByVal hwnd As Long, ByVal nIndex As Long, ByVal dwNewLong As Long) As Long

Const GWL_EXSTYLE = (-20)
Const WS_EX_TRANSPARENT = &H20&

Private Sub Command1_Click()
    SetWindowLong Frame1.hwnd, GWL_EXSTYLE, WS_EX_TRANSPARENT
End Sub

---

This will work better:

Code:

---

Private Declare Function SetWindowLong Lib "user32" Alias "SetWindowLongA" (ByVal hwnd As Long, ByVal nIndex As Long, ByVal dwNewLong As Long) As Long
Const GWL_EXSTYLE = (-20)
Const WS_EX_TRANSPARENT = &H20&

Private Sub Command1_Click()

    SetWindowLong Frame1.hwnd, GWL_EXSTYLE, WS_EX_TRANSPARENT
    Me.Hide
        Me.WindowState = vbMinimized
        Me.WindowState = vbNormal
    Me.Show

End Sub

---

Thanks, I'll try it out tonight! =)

Cya.
