well there's a method that will make a particular color Transparent on the Form
i.e. put a Panel and set its color to say Red
Now on Form's Property page set TransparencyKey to Red
Now the Panel will be Transparent and will appear like a window which shows what's beneath it But it won't show the forms content beneath it

There are two technique used in game programming for the same one is Double Buffer which make the object in RAM only and display the Select portion on screen. Using the Old bitblt Method o Windows API.
