TAdvPanel: Feature request: Transparent property

VCL TMS VCL UI Pack
1

Please add a Transparent property to TAdvPanel.
This would be most beneficial for many use cases, as you can imagine.

2

Please consider using TAdvSmoothPanel that has this capability.

Hi Bruno,
Thanks for the answer.

This is a TAdvSmoothPanel where the Transparent property has been set to True:

How do we make the panel transparent?

4

Control the level op transparency with AdvSmoothPanel.Fill.Opacity

Bruno, thank you for your helpful hints!

Now it works perfectly!

I repaint the panel content in the OnEndMoveSize event handler.

procedure TForm1.AdvSmoothPanel1EndMoveSize(Sender: TObject);
begin
  AdvSmoothPanel1.Repaint;
end;

It would be nice to update the transparency while moving the panel - but that would lead to much flickering when doing it with the Repaint method.

Another possibility would be moving only the border frame - but that is impossible with current features.

I retested this here ,even with commenting the OnEndMoveSize event handler, I could not see an issue with this?
