UsesPerPixelOpacity example

Lester Lobo posted an example of UsesPerPixelOpacity=true: https://blogs.msdn.com/llobo/archive/2006/02/24/538757.aspx

Keep in mind you don't need to use HwndSource -- you can use the Popup class instead, which is generally more convenient since it saves you some pinvoking.

    Popup is nice, but there is no "UsesPerPixelOpacity" property? Or is there any other way to implement transparency?

    Note that there's another sample showing the new UsesPerPixelOpacity stuff in the FebCTP version of the SDK. The sample is under "Cross-technology Samples" (unfortunately), and is called GadgetUILibrary. Defines a GadgetWindow class that you pass a Visual to and show ... pretty much takes care of everything else.

    Nice sample, but the transparency does not work on my machine. And second it also uses the HwndSource and some ugly Win32 calls. So do i miss something?

    Roland, I got transparency to work on a Popup by setting AllowsTransparency=true.

    Ahh, thanks a lot. Now the Popup works with transparency and without any HwndSource and W32 stuff:-)
