///  IOverlayService is a service that supports adding simple overlay windows to a design surface.
///  Overlay windows can be used to paint extra glyphs on top of existing controls.
///  Once an overlay is added, it will be forced on top of the Z-order for the other controls and overlays.
///  If you want the overlay to be transparent, then you must do this work yourself.
///  A typical way to make an overlay control transparent is to use the method setRegion
///  on the control class to define the non-transparent portion of the control.
