Hi,

I want to have a alpha blended window over a video playing in the background. Considering the fact that a window cannot be made alpha blended over another window unless you take a snap of the background, I had to resort to OpenGL. I have few options for this:

(1) To show an object on the WinCE window without showing the OpenGL ES window. Is it possible to do this ??

(2) Make the opengles window transparent and then show the object.

Any suggestions will be greatly appreciated. Please can some1 help me by giving some inputs

Thanks for any help

Aditya
