Hi guys, I am modifying the Paint.NET control to see if I can use it for a test project I am building.
I have createe a custom control with true transparency (via the ExStyle param change. It's basically a transparent label with a shape drawn on it). I can add this control anywhere on the form I want, and it shows up, even over other controls.
However, if I move the control over the DocumentView control, my transparent control is erased (basically any part of the control that is overlapping the documentview control gets wiped out). It's like the DocumentView control is always on the highest z-order, but SendToBack/BringToFront does nothing to change this. If I remove the Transparency ExStyle param, the control will show up properly.
I can not figure out why I can't lay my transparent control over the DocumentView control. Does anyone have any ideas on what the deal is here?
