Hello,
I would like to display some lines on a composite, depending on the
structure of the used layoutmanager. E.g. lines around the grid of a
gridlayout.
Is there a way to have a transparent overlay over the composite? Or can
I fill the background with a dynamically painted image?
Second question: I know, I can capture an image of an widget or
composite with gc#copyArea. Is it possible to do this without realy
displaying the widget to the user?
I would like to take a capture of a (hidden) composite, and use this as
background or overlay for an other really displayed second composite.
Thanks in advance!
Regards,
Lars

Hi Lars,
There isn't a way to do a transparent overlay, but you can draw on the
Composite, either by adding a Paint listener, or by drawing to an Image and
setting it as the Composite's background (Control.setBackgroundImage(...)).
Capturing an image of an unrendered Control is not supported.
