Creating Transparent Objects

You can make front panel objects transparent to layer them. This allows you to layer multiple controls and indicators so that they appear in the same place when a user selects a particular option. You can place transparent controls on top of indicators, or you can create numeric controls without the standard 3D border. Transparency affects only the appearance of an object. The object responds to mouse and key operations as usual.

Complete the following steps to make an object transparent.

  1. Right-click an object with the Coloring tool to display the color picker.
  2. Select the box with a T in it.
