Hi All,

I am wanting to draw shapes on the screen using WPF but without drawing them
onto a window. Is this possible and if so how do I do this?

Many thanks,

Charles

You need a window to draw on it. However, you can in WPF make that
window transparent and style-less. So the illusion is that you draw on
the screen.

If you make your window transparent (AllowsTransparency="True") then
the child elements of your window will appear to draw directly to the
desktop.
