8  // In Sano's article, the DragForm needs to meet the following criteria:
9  // (1) it was not to show up in the task bar;
10  //     ShowInTaskBar = false
11  // (2) it needed to be the top-most window;
12  //     TopMost = true (not necessary here)
13  // (3) its icon could not show up in the ALT+TAB window if the user pressed ALT+TAB during a drag-and-drop;
14  //     FormBorderStyle = FormBorderStyle.None;
15  //     Create with WS_EX_TOOLWINDOW window style.
16  //     Compares with the solution in the artile by setting FormBorderStyle as FixedToolWindow,
17  //     and then clip the window caption and border, this way is much simplier.
18  // (4) it was not to steal focus from the application when displayed.
19  //     User Win32 ShowWindow API with SW_SHOWNOACTIVATE
20  // In addition, this form should only for display and therefore should act as transparent, otherwise
21  // WindowFromPoint will return this form, instead of the control beneath. Need BOTH of the following to
22  // achieve this (don't know why, spent hours to try it out :( ):
23  //  1. Enabled = false;
24  //  2. WM_NCHITTEST returns HTTRANSPARENT
