I know how to make filled rectangle but how do I make it semi-transparent? Thanks anyway

You make it semi-transparent by doing exactly what I just posted.
the first 3 128’s are the “Gray”, the last one is the opacity.

Ah, Xojo tells me I need to use GDI plus. Sorry to bother you.

How should I go about drawing over all of the controls in the window. Thanks

Not sure if you meant this, but putting a big canvas covering all the controls should let you draw over all them and remove the mess after if you wish.

Kay thanks. Hoping there would be a better method but oh well, it will probably do exactly what I want it to do.
