yes, forms have opacity, but separate controls can have them also. I
checked and the default pix boxes dont have opacity, and I couldnt find how
to add this or override the property. I was using the infragistics wingrids
and they use some way to change opacity.
I would like to find out and copy the procedure so I can use it myself. I
will keep checking
