HELP on transparent window(UpdateLayeredWindow)!

Hi!
I try to create a layered window with some common controls on it, like a
button or an edit box.
The problem is that i use UpdateLayeredWindow to give a bitmap with alpha
transparency to my main window. And this is everything I see. My child
controls are not painted.
how can I use some common controls ("BUTTON", "EDIT", etc) or even other
more complex like a html view or other activx control?
Is there a way to force them to paint themselfs in a given DC? Or maybe to
make them ignore the fact that their parent is a layered window?

Please help me with a solution or someting!
Thanks!
