RE: Draw Rectangle On Desktop

Simply put you can't do that. However you can achieve a similar effect by creating a transparent window that does not have a title bar and just content

I am looking for some sample code that would show me how to draw a rectangle
directly on the desktop (not inside an application window). Any code you can
provide would be greatly appreciated.
