      <description><![CDATA[&gt;Nice article though. I'll start looking for an excuse to use this trick &gt;in my next app... :)How about having a regular form with some nice animationsitting exactly behind your translucent form!?That way your users will be doing some boring data entry jobon the huge (translucent) form and watching some interesting animation in the background, at the same time!! ;)]]></description>

      <description><![CDATA[Hi.I just tested the code because am developing this kind of new look applications. The code fragment I was interested on testing is the movement of the form by clicking on the client area.I use transparent (flat) speed buttons and events on Timages, so I can place a texture image over the form, and using regions to give a non rectangular look. Also the events on the Timages work very good, because I can change the image so simulate a movement due to a click.However the code in the sample drags the form even though the click is made over an image or speed button, so my program does not work.I have used an OnMouseMove event over a image to drag the form, but your code animates faster the movement of the form on screen.Have any work around on that?Thanks,Julio Adolfo DebroyDEMO Engineeringjulio@demosys.com]]></description>

      <description><![CDATA[I couldn't get the code to work as posted (D6/Win2k/SP3).  I had to add this line:    SetWindowLong(Handle, GWL_EXSTYLE, GetWindowLong(Handle, GWL_EXSTYLE) or WS_EX_LAYERED);inside FormCreate to make it work.Without this call, SetLayeredWindowAttributes returns false and the form displays "normally" (i.e., rectangular w/blue background).  Additionally, calling SetWindowLong in FormCreate makes the CreateParams override irrelevant, so it simplifies the code somewhat as well.Nice article though.  I'll start looking for an excuse to use this trick in my next app...   :)]]></description>
