Make a control transparent

Question

Is there any way to make a control transparent like button, edit, panel or etc...? I mean something like opacity or alpha blend that we have in form property.

Answer 1

Some components have the transparent property. In others you can choose 'none' as the color property. It differs from component to component, but not all components can be made transparent by changing a property.

You should try googling Delphi transparent components, there are downloadable components and tricks you can do to make existing components transparent.

Answer 2

Take a look at the Win32 windows styles, especially WS_TRANSPARENT (or WS_EX_TRANSPARENT).
