I have been facing an issue recently.
I need to create a transparent panel that shows what is Behind the form, not the Form.
For example, if I am running my application on my desktop; something like this, I will see my desktop from where where the panel is.
Thank you in advance :)

  • @ThadeuFernandes Correct :) , and RichardEverett the only progress I have gotten to is setting the backcolor to Color.Transparent and that is not what my goal is :\ – MinecraftSquad FactionsPVP May 29 '16 at 19:53
  • I think that this can be a way to do it: http://stackoverflow.com/questions/4314215/c-sharp-transparent-form – Thadeu Fernandes May 29 '16 at 19:54
  • @ThadeuFernandes after some tweaking, I got that to work :) I suggest you answer so I can accept it – MinecraftSquad FactionsPVP May 29 '16 at 19:57
  • You can create a Form and set both `BackColor` and `TransparencyKey` properties to `Color.Magenta`. This way you will have a transparent form which also mouse click pass through the form. If you want to be able to handle click on transparent area, use `Color.Red`.

You can set a background color then use the TransparencyKey in properties to make this color transparent.
