Description
Specifies the transparency of a window.
Usage
The Transparency property takes an integer value in the range 0 to
100, where 0 means that the window is opaque and 100 that is completely
transparent. This property is useful when you want a non-modal dialog
box or window to remain visible but become semi-transparent when the
user’s focus has shifted to another area.
In MDI applications, sheet windows always have the same
transparency as the frame window. The transparency setting of the sheet
window is ignored.
In a painter
To make the window transparent:
-
Select or type a value in the Transparency spin control on the
General page of the window’s Properties view.
In scripts
Changes in the Transparency property take effect
immediately.
