I want to make my Tracker a bit nicer, by giving the Rubberband a Color and fill the Rectangle with a partial transparent Color.
My Class is derived from MFCs CRectTracker and i'm working with Dialogs.

You can do this with GDI+
You just need to create a semi-transparent GDI+ pen & brush.

You may find this article to be helpful. Just omit the arcs Darren uses at the corners, and be sure to specify a colour that doesn't have the alpha channel set to 100% opaque.

GDI+ round-rects

Create a layered window. Resizing the rubber band re-sizes the window.
