Opacity in floating windows

[Dave Taylor]

Is it possible to set the opacity of a floating window? I see the DockingWrapperForm, but I''m not sure if that is what''s being used for the floating windows (the docs dont say anything about what it''s use is)...or if it is, how to get a reference to it?

Thanks

Hi Dave,

The FloatingForm is used for floating docked windows. You can change the opacity of the floating windows in the DockStateChanged event handler. Here is a code snippet

private void dockingManager1_DockStateChanged(object sender, Syncfusion.Windows.Forms.Tools.DockStateChangeEventArgs arg)
{
if (this.dockingManager1.IsFloating(this.panel1))
{
DockHost dhost = this.panel1.Parent as Syncfusion.Windows.Forms.Tools.DockHost;
FloatingForm frmfloat = dhost.ParentForm as FloatingForm;
frmfloat.Opacity = 0.2;
}
}

Thanks,

Stephen.
