Opacity Container

I need a container that support opacity so i can by code, instantiate,
dock.fill on a form and bring to front. I would in other word prevent
people from cliking anything on the form and allow me to show some
extra controls such as progress bar if the form is loading or working,
add/edit informations.

I manage to make a panel invisible by overriding the onpaint but that
is not opacity. i would need like 25-50%. I also tried changing color
to Panel1.Backcolor = color.fromArgb() so by using alpha color. no
result alpha doesn't work.

I don't specially need a panel, any container that i can put objects
in and use dockstyle.fill.

thanks.
