Just started using 1024r1 and rage a tab panel and a page panel and they are transparent. No way I can use them.
This has got to be a bug.
Can you show the difference with 2023r4?
Or you were using an older Xojo?
2023r4 exhibits the same behavior. I have no Idea what version I used. I have multiple nested panels and if new ones are transparent there is no way to use them.
remember having this kind of behavior
I had to take all the items out of the panel, and install them again in their respective panel
this seems to be because the items are on panel zero ?
this is still a bug, but difficult to reproduce.
I’m not sure what you mean as ‘transparent’, here 2 tab panels, button is on left panel, right panel is top control and button is showing, do you expect button to not show? I can even click on it (I guess you are on a mac)
Exactly the button on Left Panel should not be visible, that’s what I mean by transparent.
The screenshot was taken from Xojo2019r3.2, it behaves the same with 2023r4 and 2024r1. So I don’t know which version of Xojo behaves like what you want.
I guess I’m nuts because this is the behavior back to 2017. I guess when you as old as I am things slip your mind!
Brain Fart!
Maybe Windows behave different?
Edit: yes, different on windows

Transparent As Boolean
Determines whether the control is transparent on Windows. The default is False. Has no effect on macOS or Linux.
I would expect that they controls showing on all tabs are not actually parented to a tab at all, just floating above one. As Jean-Yves said drag the controls off and drop them outside of the tab. Select the correct tab and drop them back on.
