Blend Effect

Opacity is the attribute that allows the List Box to be solid (showing none of the graphic behind it) or to have varying degrees of transparency (the ability to see part of the graphic through the image).
When applying opacity to the List Box, the entire box is affected.
|
To adjust the amount of opacity that is applied to the List Box, grab the slider bar and move up toward more opaque (solid) or down toward less opaque (transparent).
