Create a fully transparent WPF window to capture mouse events

Question

I\'m trying to trap mouse events in WPF by using a topmost, transparent non-modal window. I\'m finding that this works fine if the opacity of the window is 0.01 or greater

Answer 1

In Visual Studio 2010: Select your window in your design view.

Set the properties of your window to:

• AllowsTransparency : check it
• Background : Transparent
• WindowStyle : None
