Hi Again,

Is there a way to set a stack to a blendlevel of say 75, but keep an object (such as a button) at a blendlevel of 0? That is, a somewhat transparent window, but a solid button/control on the transparent window?

'fraid so! blendLevel is strictly inherited; the only way you will manage wgat you want is by using windowShape for your stack and setting the blendLevel of your object. The only snag about this is that I think you will be quite unable to have a semi-transparent stack.


I have played around with it, but the object seems to inherit the blendlevel of the stack... Even when setting an object's blendlevel to 0.

Hi All,

Would anyone be able to provide an example of how to make a transparent window that is resizable? To clarify, a window that looks like a see-through box. The borders of the window need to be visible, and the window needs to be resizable accordingly, but the user needs to be able to see the desktop through the window...

just:
...
set the blendlevel of stack X to Y
## where Y = 0 - 100
...
This will only affect the "transparency" of that stack, everthing else like "resizable" is NOT affected!

Check "blendlevel" in the dictionary, it's definitivley no rocket science :-)

Thanks,

Best

Klaus
