title: How to create a transparent window with non-transparent child controls (or child windows)?
body: <p>First, I'm working on Win32 with C++. </p>
  
  <p>I have been trying to implement a transparent window with a child window which should remain 100% opaque. It seems that child controls cannot have opacity better(lower) than the parent and if I make my parent 100% transparent then my child control also inherits the transparency. </p>
  
  <p>Code that I use - </p>
  
  <pre><code>SetLayeredWindowAttributes(GetParent(parentWindowHwnd), 0, 0, LWA_COLORKEY, LWA_ALPHA); 
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>Any help? </p>
  
  <p>Please also reply if I am not very clear with my question. </p>
