Use the opacity property.

If you want all objects in your form transparent.
I think you should draw it using GDI .

It would be far easier to do this in WPF that it would Windows Forms. Though, WPF has a very steep learning curve.

In order to do this in Windows Forms, you'd have to make your own versions of every control you're going to use and render them yourself to supply the transparent/opaque functionality.

I am adding a copy of your comment below OP's question for him to check your valuable feedback as well.

thx for your comment senior Dave,,,
i'll try

Dave, can you explain why so much buzz about steep learning curve? Learning curve is not the goal. If the project comes out faster with better quality, why bothering about steep learning curve? (Well, the risk... we say "The one who is afraid of risk doesn't drink Champagne"...). Steep learning curve may or may not pay off; this is what matters.

I know what matters. The problem is that because of the steep learning curve and the lack of fast results, this turns off people to using WPF. People usually learn a couple of narrow thing about WPF, still can't do their own project, so they stop learning it.

Thank you for this comment.
I would say this is their problem, not the problem of technology.
I'm trying to point out there is a social clinch due to the attitude to "learning curve", some kind of fashion rather than rational approach.

Sorry for the off-topic and thank you.

This is simple enough. My 5 for the Answer.
