I have made a window that has only faint apperance (opacity = 10%). I can detect if click has been made in a non hot area, but do not know how to send the click to the window/app behind it. Is there an easy way to do this? I prefer not to use API functions, but will if I need to.
Thanks,
Dave
If you make a click to a window it will be active. Is that what you want ?
i'm kinda confused. let me see if i'm right. the form has 10% opacity and you can see icons behind the form and you want to click the icon that is behind the form, right?
Yes, this is what I want to do. I want to make some tools that are only slightly visable and mostly see what is behind. What I am doing is placing hot spots on the window next to certain input fields. If I have to make a calculation, I will have a button to bring up the calculator right next to the field. (I don't have the code of the back program so adding buttons is not an option.) Basicaly the end need is to increase the input of records, thus cutting cost.Quote:

Here is a pretty good thread on mouse clicks and such.
