Calling all VFP Oldtimers - @ say get question...
We have some old code that has been tweaked for years to perform a rather tricky operation. NO ONE wants to mess with it by trying to convert it to a form. However, the screens looked old - not as bad as green screens but close... We have cleaned it up staying with the old code but have run into a problem.
The little section of code below can be copied into a .prg and run and it illustrates the problem. You can plug any .jpg/.bmp into the FILL FILE area and see what happens.
Question - Is there a way to make the text background in an @ say get statement transparent?
- - - - - - Begin Code - - - - - -
define window testwin;
from 03,03;
to 12,75;
title ' This is a Test Window ';
system;
font 'Arial', 8;
fill file 'winter.jpg'
activate window testwin
@ 01,04 say 'This Text Needs A Transparent Background.......'
store ' ' to ok
@ 03,04 say 'This Too - Press enter to continue...' get ok
read
deactivate window testwin
release window testwin
- - - - - - End Code - - - - - -
Many Thanks in advance for any who have a solution!
