I know you can make certain parts of a form transparent by setting the transparencyKey of the form to the color of your choice.
vb.net Code:
  1. Me.MdiParent.TransparencyKey = Color.Fuchsia
  2. Me.BackColor = Color.Fuchsia

Once I set the form to be a MDI Container, it seems to just ignore that function.

On my MDI Container form I have a menu and that is the only thing I want displayed. I want the container itself to be transparent. The forms that get loaded into the mdicontainer will be shown normal.

How can I do this?
