WinCE and transparent irregular shaped forms

Is it possible to create transparent win form with irregular shapes in
Windows CE 5.0 (under Visual Studio 2005?). If yes, how to do that?
I am trying to override OnPaint method but it does not work at all.

You can't create a transparent window with CE, but you can create a
window with an irregular shape using SetWindowRgn. CE doesn't have
the full compliment of region functions, so creating interesting
regions might be difficult.
