At the moment my toolbar uses a faux trasnparent look. It blits th image from the DC of the Desktop and whacks it on the form, this look really effective! The problem is it cannot be updated as this form apears in the DC of the desktop so when the blit routine is run again no change is registered.

Is there anyway to make a form transparent in another way so that for example when you drag your mouse across the desktop you get that drag box and this can been seen under the form. I do not what to the toolbar to be always on the top of the screen.
