Transparent Text Background

[mrobles]

Hi

How can I make transparent text background in a frame?

But the web page is not available.

Thanks a lot.

I'm not sure you can do transparency... maybe in newer versions... The only way I can think is at run time to calculate what the background colour is (based on either windows settings or programatically) and set the background of the text (use a fillin, not a text object so you can reference it by name).

Hi.

If I use fill-in or text the result is the same.
I Have an image and I need fill-ins over the image, but the label or texts have always a color with out transparency.

Thanks a lot

In that case you can't do it. Sorry.

It is very easy in 10.2.
In older versions win API can be used to create trasparent look.
Theres was a lot of documentation and sample code on oehive.org for win APIs including transparency.
