 Hi!

I recently posted qustion about how to make silverlight application transparent:

http://silverlight.net/forums/t/96376.aspx

I got answer, i made silverlight app transparent. But got another one problem :(

So, i'm trying to make smth like layer with silverlight application, which will be on top of the html or asp page, and i should be able to catch silverlight events like mouseclick, mousemove, etc... Tryed to make that with adding params to silverlight app tag:

            <param name="background" value="transparent" />
            <param name="windowless" value="true" />

It is working only when under the silverlight application is nothing, but if i add a html image under silverlight application, i CANT catch silverlight events.

Tryed to remove              <param name="windowless" value="true" />, then i'm able to catch events, but all silverlight application becomes black, not transparent. But i need to see through silverlight application and catch mouse events.

Is that possible?

Just wondering, have you tried setting the background of your main application usercontrol to be transparent?   So, not passing it in as a parameter, but actually setting the background of the app directly in the xaml?  I know we had this problem before, and this worked for us.
 

Ie...

<UserControl x:Class="MyNamespace.MyMainApp"
    xmlns="http://schemas.microsoft.com/client/2007"
    xmlns:x="http://schemas.microsoft.com/winfx/2006/xaml" 
    xmlns:local="clr-namespace:MyNamespace"
    Background="transparent"
