This control allows you to set the transparency level of the form that it resides on. I wrote this a good while back when I was learning how to create controls in VB. It uses the SetLayeredWindowAttributes API that is available in Windows 2000. I believe this will work on Windows XP also. I haven't tried it though. A small test application is included to show you how to use the control. It's really simple. If you like it, please rate it and I'll post more code. :)
