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.
Let's imagine a monitoring application: whenever an alert occurs, it opens a transparent window displaying a message while the window found underneath remains active and visible.
Let's imagine how you could track urgent emails, monitor assembly lines, ...
How to proceed?

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. Display the window description of current window ("Description" from the popup menu of window).
  2. Display the "Style" tab and define the opacity level of window:
This level can change from 0 (transparent window) to 100 (opaque window).

Modifying the window opacity by programming

The window opacity can also be modified by programming with ..Opacity.
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()
