Hi,

I've been struggling with this one for a while. I would like to create a usercontrol (activex/ocx) that is transparent but still registers the mousemove event in the transparent regions of the control.

If you create a control and set backstyle to transparent then the mouse events do not fire in the transparent areas of the control.

I have tried using windows api calls to set the control to be transparent (using SetLayeredWindowAttributes) but that doesn't seem to work on a user control...

I need this control so that I can add a transparent control to the application but still track the mousemove and click events.

Any help would be appreciated
