How to draw over all other windows


  • Subject: How to draw over all other windows

I would like to replicate the behavior of this little application: http://krugazor.free.fr/software/highlight/
With it, you can draw over all other windows, like on a transparent canvas.


What mystifies me is that this even works with Powerpoint being in presentation mode!

I have already experimented a bit myself, starting from the little example RoundTransparentWindow provided on ADC.
Transparency and click-through work fine.
But as soon as I click on an element of the transparent window (in the example it is an image), Powerpoint quits presentation mode (which is its usual behavior when bringing another application to the foreground)!


I don't even know what keywords I could google for ...

Any hints, pointers, and suggestions will be highly appreciated.

Best regards,
Gabriel.
