Set a picture transparently in the foreground

[Mschauder]

Hey guys, is it possible to load a .jpg on a form and make it transparently to sketch it in paint or somewhere else? The picture should always stay in the foreground, but I want interact to the window under it. any suggestions? :doh:

How about... - Set jpg as form BackgroundImage - Set form Opacity to 50% (or whatever) - Set FormBorderStyle to None (but you will have to handle Move another way) - Set form TopMost to true

Illogical thoughts make me ill

yeah, thank you :D! But 1 Problem remain... How could I draw under it without set the focus to the Form? :confused:
