Transparency in ListCtrl?

wxPython Users
1

Hi,

I’d like to ‘fade out’ items in a ListCtrl (for example when a certain selection is made by the user) and I thought I could do that by increasing the transparency of the text colour of an item in a number of steps, but setting the transparancy of a list item doesn’t seem to have an effect. This is on Mac OSX, wxPython 2.8, Python 2.5. I tried both with and without the native ListCtrl (i.e. wx.SystemOptions.SetOptionInt(‘mac.listctrl.always_use_generic’, 1|0)).

Is it possible to use transparency in the ListCtrl (and other controls)?

Thanks, Frank

Attached is a work-around that seems to work pretty well.

Cheers, Frank
