An eaForm Label is a control that can be used to:
| • | Provide a shape that can be used for visual effect, for example as a background to one or more other controls. Note to use as a background the designer will need to set the Z-order of the control within the Form Definition using the Form Editor. |
Transparent colour
The label control can support transparent back colours. To set a value as transparent you need to edit the backcolor in the control editor.
The string must be 8 characters which represent ARGB - each having a 2 digit hex value. Of the A = 00 then the colour will be treated as transparent.
