True Transparency

I am writing an application that shows videos, flashmovies, images, text, etc on a form inside usercontrols. certain controls like the videos (directx) flash movies (shockwave Flash ocx) do not let me know if the user has clicked them. I want to put an invisible (transparent) control over the entire form to handle all click event, but all the transparency code i try just shows the background of the form or a black box

I have tried what Ken Tucker has suggested on many other posts but no luck, i'm about to try Herfried Wagner suggestions about regions and will post the results if successfull

Any help would be most appreciated

My solution won't receive events in the part of the control which is
cutted away.
