How do you make the graph transparent?

Is there any way to make the graph window transparent to it's parent window? I would like to be able to use something like the WS_EX_TRANSPARENT flag when creating the graph window or have a panel setting that would make the entire chart transparent to the containing parent window.

Thanks

Hi TMECHAM,

I'm afraid this is not possible. I've included this to our wish list (TV52010412) to be considered for future releases.

Meanwhile you can try creating a transparent image and setting it to the BackImage property.

That was the first thing I tried when I couldn't find a setting to do this. Unfortunately the image is only transparent to the background color of the panel and doesn't affect the window transparency. I guess I'll just have to wait for an update. Any estimate on a date for an update would be greatly appreciated if possible.

Thanks

Hi,

the next maintenance release will be ready before the end of the next month (March), but I cannot tell for sure this feature will be added in this one.
