Transparent Window
-
Hello All, i am working in VS 6 using VC++ Win32 :: I made a window using CreateWindowEx API and WNDCLASSEX Structure with Background Brush as (HOLLOW_BRUSH) and Style as WS_EX_TRANSPARENT... These 2 things made my window transparent....But the problem is when i maximize other window over my created window, its Background color changes to maximized window, that should not happen .......i always want my window background as desktop..... Any suggesstion is heartly appreciated

This a "repainting" pbm : there is sort of an asynchrnous notification that needs be handled and but it is not. WM_ACTIVATE issue ? I do'nt have sufficient facts to reason and tell you. Good luck.

You want to make your window a sort of "hole" on the screen that lets you see the desktop all the time? I doubt there's a sane way of doing that, you could try hooking into explorer's process and somehow make the desktop window's part that your window is over being drawn onto your window but i don't much recommend it.
