So this is a transparent form laid over the viewport, notice the massive decrease in the FPS of the viewport as soon as this is displayed. It is the transparency that is killing it. Any one know why or how to make it any faster?


gw.setTransform (matrix3 1)
viewportPos=mouse.screenpos-mouse.pos
width=gw.getWinSizeX()
height=gw.getWinSizeY()

form=dotNetObject "form"

-- form.AllowTransparency=true
form.BackColor=(dotNetClass "system.drawing.color").fromArgb 0 0 0
form.TransparencyKey=(dotNetClass "system.drawing.color").fromArgb 0 0 0
form.ShowInTaskBar =false
form.FormBorderStyle=form.FormBorderStyle.none

--Label layer
labelLayer=dotNetObject "Label"
labelLayer.backColor=(dotNetClass "system.drawing.color").fromArgb 0 0 0 0
labelLayer.padding=dotNetObject "System.Windows.Forms.Padding" 0
labelLayer.margin=dotNetObject "System.Windows.Forms.Padding" 0
form.controls.add labelLayer

p = DotNetObject "System.IntPtr" ( Windows.GetMAXHWND() )
maxHwnd = DotNetObject "MaxCustomControls.Win32HandleWrapper" p
form.Show ( maxHwnd )

form.bounds=dotNetObject "system.drawing.rectangle" viewportPos.x viewportPos.y width height
labelLayer.bounds=dotNetObject "system.drawing.rectangle" 0 0 form.width form.height

Interesting thing is you can make it really small and it still hurts performance in the viewport a fair bit.
