Is there a way to make a part of a Form completely transparent and have it so you can't click through it where it is transparent?

Thanks!

There are several ways to do this.

There is the Opacity property: 0 = transparent, 1 = opaque with any fraction in-between giving different degrees of transparency.

There is the TransparencyKey property. Just set it to the colour that you want to be transparent.

I am not sure you understood. I only wants parts of the form transparent. While TransparencyKey will work for that part, it will make that area click thoughable.
