Hi there
When I programmatically set the Opacity property on my main form (that contains a SyntaxEditor) to anything but 1.0 (or 100%) the SyntaxEditor goes transparent, but it stops functioning correctly: the cursor disapears, it draws some text, but not all, etc...
However it seems to be OK if I set my main form to say 50% Opacity in the VS2008 properties editor and then run my application. It only seems to be a problem when setting the Opacity programmatically.
I am using the lastest version of SyntaxEditor for WinForms.
What can I do to get this working?
