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

Just set Background=Brushes.Transparent instead of Background=null.

You don't need to use opacity at all (ie. just leave it at 100% opacity).
