Is there a way to set the background of a static control to transparent. My use case would be to overlay text onto an image displayed in a dialog using DOpus.LoadImage. A similar question was asked back in 2017. The short answer then was..
That is not easy to do in Windows with standard controls
I would like to be able to define an overlaying static control with a transparent background that I could use to add descriptive text. The current alternative is to use a non overlaid control which means I need a larger dialog.
I dont think there's an easy way yet, the solution might be for us to add a way to overlay text directly on image statics (since we control how they're drawn).
As @jon said, v13.9.4 added Control.AddText, ModifyText and RemoveText methods. These excellent additions to the tool box of Opus capabilities let overlay text be added to an image-mode static control in a script dialog.
What are the chances of adding transparency to this functionality along the lines provided by clicking F10 on an image in the standalone viewer?
