I guess the functionality you desire could be achieved with
Form.TransparencyKey

     Hello everyone,
     
     I've got two little apps which are able to create a window that displays
     something on the desktop, but are not clickable. Instead, when you
     click on the window, the item 'behind' or 'under' that window gets clicked.
     
     I'd like to know how to do this, using VB6, VB.Net, Windows Forms, or
     API functions.
     
     Any ideas?
     
     PS. The apps in question are (both freeware):
     Desktop Logo - http://mt.smolyan.info/desktoplogo.php
     ClocX - http://www.tenzor.cz/clocx/
     
     Thanks in advance,
     --
