Hello

It's my first post so i say hi to everybody

Is there a passibility to set a transparency on WxMemo?
Or at least to set the image background on this widget?

Too be quite honest, I can't seem to find much documentation on wxMemo. I can't seem to find out what it does or what it is except through a change log on Sourceforge and for wxDev-C++.

I'm assuming the wxMemo is the name of a control when using the wxSmith / wxFormBuilder. In the column "IDName", you should be able to place more than one value seperating by the '|' character (that's how it is in code, I'm not 100% sure). Set an identifier called wxTRANSPARENT_WINDOW.

The above I think works but when used in code I didn't really get much of a transparency but because of Vista everything is kinda transparent. I'm not sure if it works or not but I believe it does. Also, this works on Windows only.

I tried wxTRANSPARENT_WINDOW but it makes transparent only nonfilled text "space" ;\

;/ It may not have the much of an effect then...Try using different colors for it and maybe you'll get different results? I'm not really sure to be honest.
