Transparency of windows
Overview
WINDEV allows you to apply a transparency coefficient to the windows.
This feature is very useful. It is used to display an alert window or a warning window "above" another window, without stopping the current process.
Imagine a monitoring application: it is activated by each alert, opening a window that is sufficiently transparent to allow you to read its contents while continuing to see the contents of the covered window, which remains active.
Let's imagine how you could track urgent emails, monitor assembly lines, ...
How to?

Modifying the transparency of windows

The transparency of windows can be modified:

Modifying the opacity of a window in edit

To modify the opacity of a window:
  1. Open the context menu of the window and select "Description".
  2. Go to the "UI" tab and set the window opacity level:
This level can change from 0 (transparent window) to 100 (opaque window).

Changing the window opacity programmatically

You can also change the window opacity programmatically with the Opacity property.
Example: Display effects when closing a window:
// Make the window invisible little by little (fade out)
i is int
FOR i = 1 TO 100
	WIN_EditWindow.Opacity = 100 - i
END
Close()
