I love how you can make forms translucent, I think it is a neat toy!
My question is how can I make only the form translucent? I would like all other controls to be normally visible. I have this menu program that pops up. I Would like it to be round, like a donut, and menu items to be placed at runtime on this donut shaped menu. But untill I can get the form to be invisible it looks ugly!
I have looked into taking a screenshot, and then setting the forms background to the (left,top)-(width, height) of the screenshot. But its slow, I also saw a post about doing API calls. I'm trying to avoid making this a complex task.
Is there an easy way to do this?
Thanks in advanced!
