Stack blendlevel

Thank you for the confirmation Scott. Bit  difficult for re-sizable windows, 
though. The words 'drawing board' and 'back'  come to mind.

You can't do this with blendLevel -- this property affects the  stack and
thus everything displayed in it.

The only way you can do  selective masking like you describe is to create a
PNG the size of your stack  to use as a windowShape that has opaque regions
where your controls will be,  and transparency everywhere else.  If the
positions of your controls  will change at all, you will need to have
multiple PNGs and reset the  windowShape every time the positions of your
controls change.
