I would like to view the transparent window code under blitz plus gui in the code archives, but when I add the commands to user32 it can't find the command SetLayeredWindowAttributes% (hwnd%, crKey%, bAlpha%, dwFlags%):"SetLayeredWindowAttributes". Does any one have suggestions to make it work or alternate code?

Ummm... I hate to point out the obvious, but isn't the GUI only for Blitz MAX? I didn't think there was a GUI for Blitz Plus.

blitz plus has a large built in gui database and the code was written for blitz plus

Oops. I really need to stop using the 2D parts of B3D.

Anyway I fixed it. I had api_ added when it was not needed in the decls file.

Just make an invisable window (the kind with no title bar) and then just grab an image from the desktop where youir window will appear. Then draw that, and you have an invisable image. Or, make a window w/ no title bar, and make the width and height 1,1, or position it at like 100000,100000. Ya, BlitzPlus has an awsome GUI. Yay, bunny!! Attack, and gain world domination!
