The grid/listbox would typically have 6-10 rows representing each Stock Code, and there will be a picture on the form for each of the stock codes. The Order qty is the only column that will be data entered. The grid/List box will sit 'on top' of the pictures, positioned around the centre of the form,and taking up a about 1/4 of the screen size. Visually I want to centre the Grid/Listbox, rather than having it away in a corner.</P><P>Is there an Opacity property for the Grid/Listbox. I want to be able to see the pictures clearly behind the Grid, but also enter the Order qty onto the grid column. I dont want to have to Hide and then show the grid/Listbox if I can avoid itThu, 22 Apr 2010 11:33:58 GMTGer Cannollhttp://forum.strataframe.net/FindPost26961.aspxThese images need to go behind the Grid as they would be too small as a separate column.</P><P>Fot time being I'll either Hide / unhide them , or else reserve a part of the screen for the grid.</P><P>Perhaps this is the sort of thing that could be done in WPF so I guess I'll need to wait a while.</P><P>Many thanks for your helpThu, 22 Apr 2010 11:33:58 GMTGer Cannollhttp://forum.strataframe.net/FindPost26937.aspxI've been trying to think of a way to do this without re-writing the world, and so far I'm coming up blank. The problem here is that none of these controls support transparency at a base level, so re-writing them to add that kind of functionality is no small thing. The only thing I could come up with from a usability perspective would be to put the ListView/Grid in a StrataCollapsableContainer to make moving it out of the way simpler. That way they can toggle back and forth between seeing the grid and seeing the image.<P>I'm also assuming we aren't talking about small images you could include in the list items themselves, correct?Tue, 20 Apr 2010 09:44:12 GMTDustin Taylor
