C# Winforms Transparent Control allowing Clickthrough

votes

I have a Winforms control that starts off completely transparent, but then lines are drawn on it for stuff. I want mouse events to completely ignore the control and instead go to the stuff (buttons and all that junk) below.

Is there any way to do this? P/Invoking stuff would be fine, by the way.

I've been looking for a solution to this too. The closest i've come is getting the completely transparent areas to have click-through, by setting the control's Region property to the transparent area.
