hover

I have a semi-transparent PNG as a background image for a div that that I'm placing over some links. As a result, the links aren't clickable. Is there a way I can hover and click "through" the div that's on top? (BTW, to position to foreground div I'm using absolute positioning and z-index.)

Thanks! Mike

AlphaBlend() takes a source device context and a destination device context (DC) and combines the bits in such a way that it gives a transparent effect.
