Otherwise, what you can do is use TBGRAGraphicControl. It handles transparency, however it is not possible to put subcontrols in it.
Or you can also draw the subpanel yourself in the OnAfterRenderBCPanel of the main panel, and put the subcontrols in the main panel.
Or you can put a TBGRAShape (set Angle property to 45) in the main panel and the other subcontrols on top of it.
