with the Paint Brush Demo I was already able to test the Paint functionality of ImageEn. However, I would like to draw directly on the desktop. To do this, I want to create a transparent form and draw directly on it (needed for a screen recorder software).
Is this generally possible with ImageEn? The ImageEnView doesn't seem to have a "transparent" property, at least I haven't found a corresponding property.
No, the TImageEnView control cannot be made transparent, so you'd need to capture an image of the desktop and use that as your TImageEnView background layer (layer 0).
thanks for the suggestion, unfortunately it is not applicable to me, because drawing should also be possible over changing forms such as video players.
The other option would be to use a TImage instead of a TImageEnView. ImageEn supports loading directly to a TImage (or a TBitmap displayed in a TImage), see:
