not exactly what you want but there is a way to make the dbpro window transparent. so if you stick your sprite on it and make the window just big enough to hold the sprite, you will be able to move it around using the position windows commands.


Cyberspace was becoming overcrowded and slummy so I decided to move. These nice chaps gave me a lift.

Thanks Tin Tin.
I'll try it.
Perhaps I can get Styx and use the Window Commands, also.

I studied the window commands.
I don't understand how to set the window transparency.

Why not take a look at the TPC DLL thread topic beforehand. You never know what you might find. I believe N3wton created a desktop screen capture dll if this is similar to what you want

If at first you dont succeed, LOWER YOUR STANDARDS.

please, Tin Tin, write me about the way to make the dbpro window transparent.


sneakysmith12, I fell so stupid. I can't get the "TPC DLL thread topic" with the "Thread Subject Search" at bottom of the page.
Please post the address.
