How do I make a Control Transparent?

Hi,

I am using the following API in VB6 to make a Frame control transparent but it returns zero (error) in the API call
Code: 
SetWindowLong frame1.hwnd, GWL_EXSTYLE, WS_EX_TRANSPARENT
I have an idea that the frame control and others (example: the option button control) are "composite" controls having "child" components. Therefore, the frame1.hwnd reference is incorrect.

Can anyone give some advise.

Thanks .... Greg.
