Update layered Window and child control

Hello,
I have a windows form of which 30% area in the right need to be transparent.
Also I have one scroll bar control to be placed on this form. I am using
UpdateLayeredWindow() so that I can achieve the transparency.
But doing this the scroll bar control is no more visible.
I can not use the system supplied scroll bar as the look and feel of my
scroll bar is different than the standard windows scrollbar.


currently I have a hack where in I set the parent of the scroll bar control
to the desktop window instead of form and then position of the scroll bar in
its place.

Also I need to animate the form. I do it using animateWindow API.

This creates the problem as scroll bar is not visible during animation and
appears after the animation is complete. How can I make the scroll bar to be
part of the animation.

How can I set the parent of my scroll bar control as the form and still be
seen

Thanks

I
