That calls the API directly, and the API doesn't handle wildcards, unless Mark added this in some new release. In addition, Henry is right; you can only call SetLayeredWindowAttributes on a window with the WS_EX_LAYERED style. You can set that style on a window by using SetWindowLong, although there's no telling how the application that owns the window will respond. -- Tim Roberts, [EMAIL PROTECTED] Providenza & Boekelheide, Inc. _______________________________________________ python-win32 mailing list python-win32@python.org http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-win32 _______________________________________________ python-win32 mailing list python-win32@python.org http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-win32
