- Hi !
-
- I've tried to create transparent windows (ie those windows which you can
- place ontop of other windows without obscuring it or its contents ) using MFC
- without much success.
-
- What I tried was to use CWnd::CreateEx(). However, I notice that
- the documentation in MFC does not mention that you can use
- WS_TRANSPARENT_EX as an extended window style, although this function
- is supposed to be equivalent to ::CreateWindowEx().
- I also created a class to use the null brush and use this class
- in the CreateEx() as an argument. The window is created but it does
- not appear to be transparent.
-
- Also, if a program gives an address like 0003:1234 as the place
- where an error occurs, how does one know which statement does it
- translate to in the MFC source code.
-
-
- Can some kind soul please advise? Thanks in advance.
