Hi All,

Im developing a WPF application, and im using the activex control for vlc 1.0.3.
My applictaion opens a transparent window on top of the vlc control . I am not able to see the video when the transparent window is on top of the control. It just shows a grey background with audio.If the transparent window is hidden, it works fine.
I tried removing the video overlay property and still didn't work. I need the window to be on top of the vlc control.

Note: We are using Windows Xp Embedded. My VGA is NVIDIA ION.
Any suggestions will be helpful

Thanks
