It's called a "layered window", which might help when you search

Code Select Expand

invoke GetWindowLong, hwndDlg, GWL_EXSTYLE
or eax, WS_EX_LAYERED
invoke SetWindowLong, hwndDlg, GWL_EXSTYLE, eax
invoke SetLayeredWindowAttributes, hwndDlg, NULL, 230, LWA_ALPHA

230 is the alpha in this case value. Put that code in your WM_INITDIALOG
