this is a repost because i have my douts that my old one
will ever be answered.

I have a 50% transparent window that is on top of the
desktop. I want the user to be able to click 'Through
the transparent window' onto objects behind it ... my
computer.

The transparent window does not need force it just needs
to be ontop of all the other windows.

another example is .. if you press alt-ctrl-del to bring
up task manager how can i program the window to pass
mouse clicks on it to the window behined it, if task
manger is my program?

I hope this is clear enough to answer :)
and thanx for your time.
 
When you are using task manager, if it is always on top, the only way to
click past it is if you are off of the task manager window. I don't know how
you would access the desktop to find location of icons that correspond to
the location of your mouse click in your form.

It sounds like you are trying to take control of the desktop, and see every
keystroke and mouseclick, yet still allow the user to use the functionality
of other programs. Is this what you are trying to accomplish?

The way that you describe is difficult to achieve.

If you share the reason for what you are trying to accomplish, we may be
able to help you find another way to accomplish it that would be a bit
simpler.

i just want to beable to click through a form ... i
want 'windows' to ingnore my window and pass events to the

Im not sure about translucent forms, but you can already click through fully
transparent forms, maybe that'll give you a lead.( e mail me if you get it
working ).
