Is there any way to make a form fullscreen but be able to click through it so you can use other apps behind that form.

yes, just either set the transperancy key to the color of the background or set the opacity to 0 and make sure you have it set to top most

is there a way to do that while having an image over the whole form? And making the image white didn't allow me to click through it

I've never encountered a program that could be clicked through. What is the goal of this usage?

I'm making a small form with a text box so I can copy down people's names on warrock so I remember who to send a clan invite to. Its almost like a reminder but at the same time it premvents me from going afk to open word pad.
And if I can't click through it sometimes my weapon doesn't shoot.

Just because the form is transparent doesn't mean it's not there.

OK part of my problem is solved but I need to be able to display an image and still be able to click through the image as well.
And the reason why I don't use pen and paper is because I sometimes loose the paper. Plus I wanted to see if it could be done or not.

if u have a picture box or an image on the background of the form you cant click through it unless the image is transpernt ok so if you have a picture box and the image is transparnt in some spots and not in others you wont be able to click through the part of the image that isnt trasnparnt

I'm going to have to try this, it sounds like a neat feature.
