I´m interested to make a very very simple aplication, it consits in a visible frame window but the client area should be transparent, except two axes. How could I make it. Thanks in advance

Try using
Code: 
SetWindowRgn(HWND hWnd, HRGN hRgn, BOOL bRedraw)
or if you're working in an MFC project use
Code: 
CWnd::SetWindowRgn(HRGN hRgn, BOOL bRedraw);
Just create a region (CRgn works too) specifying the shape you want displayed and call it.
