How do you make a progress frame transparent?

[jdsbryan]

I have found examples of how to make a Progress window transparent, but I want to be able to make a Progress frame transparent so that I can see images, controls, etc.. beneath it.

Transparent window?

Sorry, I don´t know how to make a frame transparent, but it sounds interesting to me how to make a Progress-window transparent. Would you please tell me what you found?
Thanks!

The window transparency API calls can be found at www.global-shared.com.

As for making a frame transparent ... it's not possible via the 4GL. At least, I've looked at it for quite a while and I haven't been able to find an API call to accommodate it. I even tried implementing an OCX frame (for a gradient fill of the frame) and OCX fill-ins with a transparent option. But the 'transparent' option is ignored by Progress the OCX control is placed within a Progress frame.

If you come across any way of doing this I'm sure you'll find quite a few people who would be interested.
