Window with another window on top of it.

[UJ]

I have a situation where I have a window and I want to put another window on
top of it that opaque at 50%. That works fine. But I'd also like to have it
that when I move the main window, the opaque one moves with it.

How can I do this? Do I need to go to an MDI which I really don't want to.
Or do I have to move the opaque window in the main window's Move event?

TIA - Jeff.

Jeff,

Yes you need to do something. If the covering window is not a child of the
main window it won't tag along. You need to write a code to adjust the
coordinates of the semitransparent window when the main window moves.

Here's a dumb question - how do I make the covering window a child window?
Or is that only available in MDI?
