You can do it with MojoWinViz.u32. I tried it a few hours ago just to amuse myself. I didn't post it 'cause it was no better than your BudAPI solution. The AW presentation window flashes for about a half second. You can get MojoWinViz from mojomole.com downloads. If you make the bitmapped mask image all black and the same size as the presentation window, the window is invisible, after the flash.

I was thinking this would be a good way to flash subliminal messages. It works pretty good. You could create a litte AW.exe with random subliminal messages and jumpoutreturn to it once in a while at random intervals. Even put it at random points on the screen and with various sizes, shapes, and colors. Users would really wonder what the heck was going on. Might be good for some kind of a game. But, that's another thread.
