technique

I am looking to make a program that accomplishes some simple goals.

I need to be able to specify an area of my screen to have reproduced in a window. Similar to who the windows magnifier works.

I also need it to stay on top.

I also need it to be transparent.

I also need it to be ghost like(mouse clicks go through it) so the application below can be interacted with still.

Here is what I am trying to do. What would be the best way to go about it?
