Window.SetAlpha
Component: Window
Version: 1.0
Mac OS X: Works
Windows: Works
MBS( "Window.SetAlpha" ; WindowRef; Alpha )
Parameters
| Parameter | Description | Example value |
|---|---|---|
| WindowRef | Window Reference is the unique OS level window ID. You can obtain this by using the Window.FindByTitle or Window.FindByIndex functions. Pass zero to access the frontmost window. | 0 |
| Alpha | The new alpha value as a float value between 0.0 (invisible) to 1.0 (opaque). | 0.5 |
Description
Set Alpha can be used to set the transparency of a window.NOTE: If you set the Alpha of a window too low it will not accept mouse clicks. Windows limitation: Currently the plug-in can only set the transparency of Application Window, not the individual database windows.
Seems not to work for Filemaker 11 on Windows with document windows. So please test if it works on your version.
Examples
Set the Transparency of a window by name
Let(
[
/*-----------------PARAMETERS--------------------*/
FileMakerApplicationWindowName =
Case(
Position(Get ( ApplicationVersion ); "Advanced"; 1; 1);"FileMaker Pro Advanced";
"FileMaker Pro"
);
WindowRef =
MBS(
"Window.FindByTitle";
FileMakerApplicationWindowName
);
Alpha = .5
];
/*-------------------FUNCTION----------------------*/
MBS(
"Window.SetAlpha";
WindowRef;
Alpha
)
)
