Form bugs

[Kenney]

I'm have a little problem. I'm creating an instant messenger like MSN, AIM or Google Talk. There should be 2 windows, one with all your contacts plus your converstations in tabs but there should also be a transparent window which pops up little windows in the lowerright corner of the screen when a new message arrives or one of your friends comes online. Like this:



I've tried form, but...
1. I can't get the new form in the lowerright corner just above the taskbar.
2. I can't seem to get it transparent, when I use modifyStyleEx and WS_EX_TRANSPARENT it doesn't become transparent but rather has a bugged background.
3. I can't get the window to always be on top.
4. I seems to behave like the main window, so when the main window minimizes so does the form and also when I hide the window (so it goes to the system tray) the form also hides. Ofcourse it should behave like a new window which always stays visible and on top.

Can you help me? Thanks!

PS. The pop-up window should be transparent, this is what mine looks like:

1. you can use the Form.window property to control its size and position.
2. you cannot create a transparent form. However, you can use clip regions to create customize-shaped forms. This can be done by setting the clipRegion property.
3. to set it always on top, you'll have to call the windows api SetWindowPos

form.show(false);
dllimport "user32.dll" stdcall Boolean SetWindowPos(int, int, int, int, int, int, unsigned int);
HWND_TOPMOST = -1;
SWP_NOMOVE = 2;
SWP_NOSIZE = 1;
SWP_SHOWWINDOW = 0x40;
SetWindowPos(form.window.handle, HWND_TOPMOST, 0, 0, 0, 0, SWP_NOMOVE | SWP_NOSIZE | SWP_SHOWWINDOW);

4. to prevent the form being minimized

getMainWnd().onSize = function (type, width, height) {
	if (type == 1) {
		form.window.windowState = "normal";
	}
}
