i''m using mfc and was wondering how i can create a transparent window. you know how there''s programs with rounded non-rectangular edges? how do i make certain portions of my program see-through? what i''m trying to do is draw using the dc (using mfc) on top of a playing video. a paused/stopped is no problem. and i know that i can put a window on top of a playing video too, its just that i don''t know how to get it to be transparent. so how could i do this? or is there a better way?

Go to this page and click on the link for Skin Prototype

This is a visual C project that loads a bit map and ''masks'' out the ''transparent'' color. Creates a window of that shape and uses the bitmap to draw with.

Its all in MFC.

Goodluck
