Hi,
Does anyone know if this is possible? I'd ike to make an application that is transparent and runs on top of a 3rd party application. I would plot data in my application over top of the other app.
Do-able or not? I've looked around and don't see a way of doing it.
Thanks,
Dave

Hello Dave!
Unfortunately there isn't a direct way of making a LabWindows/CVI panel trasparent, by using a predefined panel attribute.
However, here is a workaround to make your panel transparent, using Win32 API:
Hope this helps!

Hi Johannes,
That was exactly what I was looking for. THANKS!
Just had to change HWND hwnd; to int HWND; in order to get the right variable type for GetPanelAttribute(), which works OK since it's cast to HWND below that.
Thanks again!
Dave
