Antonio,

Did you figure out how to make the SAYs transparent without REDEFINING them all?

Antonio you can create also dialogs with folder trasparent ?
I'd like see the source code here...

James,

yes. We have implemented a C function that does it automatically. No need to REDEFINE the SAYs.

Antonio,

This is excellent. I have been looking for this since Fivewin 1.8.

Many years ago I hired several artists to make my applications look especially "pretty". I experimented with this concept, but ran into difficulties.

One problem I had was "re-using" a dialog. I could get it to display correctly the 1st time, but, if I ::end() the dialog and save the dialog object to an array to re-call at a later time, the dialog background would be "invisible" and the Windows desktop would bleed through on subsequent ::activate() commands.

Is it possible for you to test this and let me know the result.

As always, thanks much. I really appreciate the work you have done for all of us.
