Hi,

How do I create a transparent container/panel in LCL? I tried the following code, and as you can see, csOpaque is not defined in the ControlStyle property.

-----------------------------------
type
  TTransparentContainer = class(TCustomControl)
  public
    constructor Create(AOwner: TComponent); override;
  end;


constructor TTransparentContainer.Create(AOwner: TComponent);
begin
  inherited Create(AOwner);
  // Do not include [csOpaque] because we want a transparent widget.
  ControlStyle := [csAcceptsControls, csNoFocus];
end;
-----------------------------------


Please see attached the result at runtime. The grey box in the middle of the form (which contains a TLabel and TButton) is not "transparent" container. Not very transparent because the form's tiled background is not showing through.

Maybe I misunderstood the [csOpaque] option, though I though it seems self explanatory.

I'm using Lazarus v1.0 GTK2 under Linux with FPC 2.6.0 on 64-bit OpenSUSE 12.1


Any tips?


Regards,
