Need help with form transparency

For my program I need the form to be 0% visible and I need for the controls on the form to be 100% visible.

At first the TransparencyKey property worked for me but then I started drawing semi-transparent images to the screen. When I do that instead of the image blending with the desktop it blends with the form background color.

I need a way to make a control's alpha blending not be effected by the form's backcolor.

I have searched EVERYWHERE for an answer and made posts in several different forums to no avail, please help me!
