Transparent MDI child

Hi,

Just wondering if it is possible to have a transparent MDI child?

Thanks

No. MDI child forms do not support transparency, or at least certainly not through managed code. I don't think it's possible through unmanaged either but I can't say for sure.

You might get it to work if you used the old VB6 trick of taking a regular non-MDI child form and using API calls to set it's parent to MDI Parent. This can cause odd side effects though so I don't recommend using it unless there is no other good way to do what you want to do.

What is it that you want to accomplish by doing this? There may be some better alternatives you can use instead.

Hi,

I was just wondering if you could do it or not I did not need it for anything just playing.

Thanks
