Place form in Viewport

You should be able to work out the rest, here is how to get the dimensions and position of the active viewport:

viewportScreenPos = mouse.screenpos - mouse.pos
viewportSize = getViewSize()

works perfect! Guess it's not possible to change the position of a rollout? (if the active viewport is changed)

It's possible why not.

Can figure it out the achieve his transparent effect so that the controls are visible but the forms not.

use form.opacity propertie.(range from 0 to 1)

if I use the form.opacity = 0 the complete form is gone inclusive the controls. But found he solution!

--dont use
form=dotNetObject "maxCustomControls.maxForm"
-- but use
form=dotNetObject "form"

with the maxform you'll get a standard gray backgroundcolor.
with this code you have have controls without form

form=dotNetObject "form"
--Set the background color
form.backColor=(dotNetClass "system.drawing.color").black
--Set the transparent color
form.TransparencyKey=(dotNetClass "system.drawing.color").black
form.Opacity=1

barigazy, thanx for the help!

Use float value for opacity propertie 0.1, 0.2 etc.
