Form opacity

[Oscar]

Hi,

I would like to set the opacity of a form but I dont want the components on
the form beeing affected.
I just want to have a transparent bakground with non transparant button,
labels etc.
Is this possiable?

Generally it is impossible to made any of form's contols (MDI children)
solid when its parent have the opacity less than one.

The possible way is to made separate form classes with single control
on them and with FormBorders=None. But then, you've got to set these
forms size and location manualy on every move of the main form.

I hope that WPF is (will be) more friendly in that matter.
