    Resolved [RESOLVED] Need help setting mdi form's opacity within parent!

    I've lurked this forum for days as well as other sites, but I can't find a way to change the opacity of a mdi form within it's parent. I can change the parent form's opacity under properties, but can't change the embedded mdi form's opacity under it's properties. Opacity = 0.5 doesn't change the opacity of the mdi... works fine for the parent form.

    I was hoping that the embedded mdi forms functions would still be independent of the parent in order for me to change it's opacity. Anyway to get this to work?

    I figured it out! To make additionals forms look like it's part of the main form, under their properties set FormBorderStyle to None to remove top bar and change TopMost to True to bring it in front of main form, then all is left is to adjust the location and OPACITY! Woo-hoo!
