Transparency of text boxes
20 Apr 2023, 09:48
Hi
Currently I use TextBoxes as a child to a StackPanel for displaying info in the chart window. I can't seem to be able to use transparency with it though. The new-ish indicator info at the top right does have this transparency though. What technique should I use to be able to have my text look like the indicator info text?
This is how I currently do it:
private TextBlock[] profitTextBlock = new TextBlock[4];
private StackPanel profitPanel;
Profits currentOpenProfits;
Profits dailyProfits;
protected override void Initialize()
{
currentOpenProfits = UpdateOpenPositionProfits();
// Create StackPanel to contain the TextBlocks displaying the output
profitPanel = new StackPanel
{
HorizontalAlignment = HorizontalAlignment.Left,
VerticalAlignment = VerticalAlignment.Bottom,
BackgroundColor = Color.Black,
Margin = 5
};
for (int i = 0; i < profitTextBlock.Count(); i++)
{
// Configure each of the TextBlocks
profitTextBlock[i] = new TextBlock
{
Text = "",
ForegroundColor = Color.White
};
profitPanel.AddChild(profitTextBlock[i]);
}
Chart.AddControl(profitPanel);
}
Which results in this:
Ideally, it would have an opacity or alpha setting so I can adjust the level of transparency.

RE:
Hello there - would this not work:
looks like the Opacity property would fit the bill... (?)
