Demonstrating toggleable Windows hit-testing on a transparent Webview2 html page for click-through on transparent parts and clickable controls on html page
This requires a host window with WS_LAYERED attribute and a LWA_COLORKEY transparent color. The same transparent color has to be set to the Webview2 browser as default background color and the background color of the html body.
A script in the loaded html page informs the host about the location of clickable controls through the web-message mechanism. Depending on whether the mouse is currently over a control or not, the WS_EX_TRANSPARENT flag is used to make the whole window clickable or click-through.
For simplicity, this demo uses a WM_TIMER to regularily check the mouse position and adjusting the transparency flag which will switch the hit-testing on the whole window on- or off.
