    I am not really clear about the concept of WS_EX_TRANSPARENT, when it used with a main window, it is not transparent at all, sometimes used with a control window, it does disappear from the parent window. Some people say it's not visually transparent, but we can click through it that the windows beneath will receive the mouse msg. Do you know what this sytle really means? and in what condition it will work otherwise won't?
