Hi, Does anybody know the way to display an avi animation in an invisible(100% transparent) window. The avi file is an animtion with a pink background, i have to set this background transparent too - i know how to display an normal avi in a normal window (cf nehe tuts) - i use windows NT 4, maybe NT 5.1 in a few weeks thanks a lot

I believe the properties are called

bool TransparentColor
4 bytes TransparentColorValue

At least thats what cbuilder calls them...

download the program called eyekeeper - I belive this is exactly what you are looking for..

I can not run eyekeeper with windows NT !
It uses layeredWindow with alpha blending... but it only works with windows NT >= 5.0 :-(
I dont need to use alpha blending, just full transparency, and i think it works with older windows version.


thank you
