Hello,
I'd like to know if it's somehow possible to obtain a transparency effect for a control (let's say a button for example) placed over a video playing window in WinAPI/MFC without using advanced graphics programming (e.g DirectX, OpenGL).
To be more specific the first example that passes through my mind are the button controls in RadLight video player.
The WinAPI SetLayeredWindowAttributtes function does its job quite ok but the result contains an ugly flicker effect.
Many thanks in advance for any answer
