Making an application with semi-transparent window and "transparent input"

I want to make an application with transparent window. I want to put one picture at the background of this window and make window transparent for inputs (i.e. if I click at window, it will be same as if I click there at screen if there is no this application). I want to make input box at application startup for input alpha. Is it possible to make an application like this one in c#? If yes, what is the best way to do this?

You can create a transparent window by the below XAML code in a WPF application. You can vary the opacity values between 0 and 1 to get the desired transparency. To get full transparency use 0.

<Window x:Class="WpfApplication3.MainWindow"
        xmlns="http://schemas.microsoft.com/winfx/2006/xaml/presentation"
        xmlns:x="http://schemas.microsoft.com/winfx/2006/xaml"
        Title="MainWindow" Height="350" Width="525"
        AllowsTransparency="True" WindowStyle="None" IsActive="False">
    <Window.Background>
        <SolidColorBrush Opacity="0.5" Color="White"/>
    </Window.Background>
    <Grid>
        <TextBox Width="200" Height="50"/>
    </Grid>
</Window>
