Does anyone know how to make a standard Frame control transparent? It needs
to keep the border and caption...setting the BackColor property won't do it
as the back ground is a gradient and sometimes a picture...

Are you talking about a form?
If so. There is an option called "Opacity"

If not. I have no clue.

and... I've created a transparent frame control that "snap shots" what
ever's under it.. still haven't stress tested it to see which method is
faster.. etc... but I assume the method shown in the Google'd message is
probably faster. (not sure what it does with the caption though...) the one
below shows caption and border while making the rest transparent.
