I need to create a form without any background. The only thing visible should be its components. Is it possible to create a transparent window with C++Builder?

Start a new project using File | New Application.

Add a Button or any other visual component in order to see

the placement of your form.

Edit the OnCreate event:

void __fastcall TForm1::FormCreate(TObject *Sender)

{

Brush->Style = bsClear;

BorderStyle = bsNone;

}
