Transparrency

What kind of "transparent" attributes do you want?  This can be difficult, depending upon exactly how you want the control to operate.

Should mention a couple of alt.'s:

-setting the control's canvas.bruh.style to bsClear will cause the control to be "clear", though it won't update properly

-setting the control's windowRGN allows for non-rectangular controls.  If the content doesn't change much you can for the edge of the control around the content.  Thing is, the "transparent" parts aren't really transparent, they just aren't there at all.

-The PaintDesktop function fills the clipping region in the specified device context with the desktop pattern or wallpaper.

-Create on owner draw control & copy whatever you think should be under the control on top of it.
