    Description

      I want to put a transparent window into the windows desk icon layer,Some problems were encountered during this process. The widget works fine on the desktop, but when placed on the desktop icon layer, it is completely transparent. But actually I used painter to draw a background that is not completely transparent, and some sub widgets in it are not drawn normally. After some testing, the invisible widget can respond to mouse events, but it is not displayed, which is very strange. I wrote a simple example to reproduce the problem. 

      #include "mainwindow.h"
      #include <windows.h>
      #include <windowsx.h>
      #include "ui_mainwindow.h"
      
      MainWindow::MainWindow(QWidget *parent) :
          QMainWindow(parent),
          ui(new Ui::MainWindow)
      {
          ui->setupUi(this);
          setAttribute(Qt::WA_TranslucentBackground);
          setWindowFlags(Qt::FramelessWindowHint);
      }
      
      MainWindow::~MainWindow()
      {
          delete ui;
      }
      
      BOOL enumWindowFindDesktopIconWindow(HWND hwnd, LPARAM lParam)
      {
          long wflags = GetWindowLong(hwnd, GWL_STYLE);
          if (!(wflags & WS_VISIBLE))
              return TRUE;
          HWND sndWnd;
          if (!(sndWnd = FindWindowEx(hwnd, NULL, L"SHELLDLL_DefView", NULL)))
              return TRUE;
          HWND targetWnd;
          if (!(targetWnd = FindWindowEx(sndWnd, NULL, L"SysListView32", L"FolderView")))
              return TRUE;
          HWND* resultHwnd = (HWND*)lParam;
          *resultHwnd = targetWnd;
          return FALSE;
      }
      
      
      HWND findDesktopIconWindow()
      {
          HWND resultHwnd = NULL;
          EnumWindows((WNDENUMPROC)enumWindowFindDesktopIconWindow, (LPARAM)&resultHwnd);
          return resultHwnd;
      }
      void setWindowToIconLayer(HWND winID)
      {
      
          HWND desktopHwnd = findDesktopIconWindow();
          if (!desktopHwnd)
              return ;
          SetParent(winID, desktopHwnd);
      }
      
      void MainWindow::on_pushButton_clicked()
      {
          setWindowToIconLayer((HWND)this->winId());
      }

      This is a new project and a button is placed in the mainwindow,click the button to place the widget on the icon layer
