Hi,
I am looking for some sort of a dimmer-component like the effect
Windows XP has when you press "shut down" in the startmenu and the
colors are faded to gray.
I want to fade out a certain area on my form (no animation necessary).
The problem is, that the component should lie on top and "faded"
components should still be usable.
Is there something like this or any suggestion if this could be
contructed as component easily. From my understanding i would have to
"grab" the underlying component's painting calls and replace the call
with a "grayed" version of it.
In Addition i would have to route the mouse-events to the underlying
components.
So, any suggestion if such a component exists?
thanks in advance
