    Guaranteed Transparency!

    One of my applications highly depends on transparency, but the .NET way of making forms and controls transparent seems not be guaranteed. I have run into situations when transparency just does not work.
    To name two:
    1. Some nVidia cards and some drivers of them.
    2. Starting video programs such as Media Player.

    Do you think there will be a better way arround to make forms and controls transparent? Or should I warn the users of known and maybe unknown situations that the program will not work?

    You can try APIs . They are more powerful than GDI+ used in .NET .

    Thanks Pirate, but the module needs lots of modifications, am too lazy to do them now.
