Window with no border, no background

[Gregor]

Hello.

So, how do you create a window that has no border and no background, much like a loader for some applications have, those that dont paint the whole window - you can see thru the unpainted regions.


Also, I am wondering if directx or openGL are able to draw 3d objects into such windows, like a simple box on the desktop that you can rotate:)


I am currently searching for answer, If I find anything I will post it.



Thanks,

Gregor

Thanks, but still ->.net has to be installed xD I hate working with that litle bugger! You never know who has it installed, altrough it's wery used! I have no intention to add a .net installation to my program because it's just a too darn small project!



So, any other ideas?

It is MFC, I don't see any .NET code in it. I did notice the line "compiled with .NET (should work with VC6), ..." but I think the author is talking about VS.net 2003.

Anyway 'Splashscreen' is what you want to search for if that doesn’t float your boat. :0)
