Placing a semi-transparent image over a playing Video

Hi all,

I'm trying to place a semi-transparent image (i.e. an image with parts
of it were
drawn in transparent color) over a playing video, but can't seem to
make it work.

Instead of the desired behavior, i.e. having all the transparent parts
of the image
show the underlying playing video, I get some sort of background
color.

This happens regardless of image format (tried PNG & GIF).

Help me brethren, for I am lost.

S. Spide
PS

1. Video is played within a control (say Panel) using stdrd DirectShow
calls
2. Pls note that the above has nothing to do with form's Opacity
property

With a string of authors such as: Carson, David, Milne, Rebecca, Pakes, Francis J., Shalev, Karen, Shawyer, Andrea I would like to write a function to change every other comma into a semi colon (thereby defining where one name ends and the next begins). I could do it by writing a complex (and slow) procedure - but is there a quick way of doing it using regular expressions, for example?

After placing several images in an embedded resource file, the size of my program's executable has jumped considerably. I don't need these images until a specific dialog pops up, and it's possible that may never happen in the majority of cases. What would be the best way to go about placing these images in a separate resource that gets compiled to a DLL? Additionally, once I've done that, how can I load the images from that external DLL? ...

Hello folks, I am unable to find appropriate documentation on the type promotion of bit-fields when using the generalised comparison operator "<=>". The problem is that using the GNU compilers, it seems that the internal comparison operator "<=>" tries to promote arguments from unsigned to signed. This is as boiled down as I can make it.
