Antonio,
Any chance of you enhancing class TSAY to add option TRANSPARENT / OPAQUE?

I have various DIALOGs where I want most SAYs to be transparent but some to be not transparent. The latter are typically mathematically calculated PROMPTs where the SAY control in my resource file has a border and I apply a background color to the SAY (resulting in the colored background filling the entire area inside the border box.

Currently, if I make the DIALOG transparent, I lose the background colour for these bordered SAYs. Yes, I can include (eg)

(oMyColorSay:lTransparent := .F.)

at the time I ACTIVATE DIALOG but this only colors the *text* inside the SAY border instead of filling the entire SAY border area like it does if the DIALOG is not transparent. It also means a great amount of extra coding (an extra line for each such say).

Any chance of you adding this TRANSPARENT / OPAQUE option to TSAY any time soon?

Thanks,
Colin

Colin,

Yes, we are currently working on transparent portions of controls to implement rounded buttons, so we can use it for SAYs too

Great. Thanks, Antonio
