FYI: Alphablending Forms using ULW

Description

Win2K & above only. A simple example of using updatelayeredwindow (ULW) and setlayeredwindowattributes (SLWA) APIs to create a semi-transparent form capable of "hosting" controls. The word "hosting" is not correct. This example shows one way of creating a host form for controls and overlaying it on the semitransparent background. Kinda neat. I will be expanding this off and on as I go along. This is NOT a fully functional project, a demo for proof of concept only.
