Clicking through a transparent window?


  • Subject: Clicking through a transparent window?

So I've got a window that manages an OpenGLView. I want the window itself to be as big as the whole screen, so that the view itself can be the whole screen. I don't, however, want to draw to the entire thing all the time -- I only want to use parts of it occasionally. I'd like to keep the window BIG all the time because of the overhead involved with resizing a window.

However, no matter what I do, I cannot stop my transparent window from registering mouse clicks in transparent areas. The whole window is transparent -- the only parts that aren't are being drawn in the GLView.

How do I prevent a window from registering clicks in transparent areas?
