Hi,

I use the dialog control in modal mode to display some information in our application. The control BackShadeColor is set to "Transparency". The BackShadeOpacity is currently 50, but it no matter what I set it to, 1 or 99 the backround does not change its opacity.

Am I missing something or the transparency and opacity needs to be set somewhere else too?


Thanks

Hi,

You will need to set BackShadeColor to a solid color. If you set it to Transparency, then it means full transparency, which means you will never see anything.

Thanks!

Thank you for responding so quickly. Originally the dialog was set to solid color. Unfortunately the result was the same, no matter if I used named colors or hex to set the value of "BackShadeColor". When I discovered the "transparency" option, I thought that I found the solution, but it behaves just the same. The "BackShadeOpacity" seems to have no effect in either case.

I pasted my object here to help to see if I have to do something differently.


<eo:Dialog id="dlgAgentContactInfo" runat="server" Height="50px" Width="400px" BackColor="#47729F"
HorizontalAlign="Left" HeaderHtml="Agent Contact Information" ControlSkinID="None"
AllowMove="False" AcceptButton="btnMsgOK2" CloseButtonUrl="00070101" BackShadeColor="#C0C0C0" BackShadeOpacity="50"
Font-Names="Courier New" VerticalAlign="Middle">
<closeeffect type="Pixelate" />
<footertemplate>
<div style="TEXT-ALIGN: center">
<asp:ImageButton id="btnMsgOK2" runat="server" ImageUrl="../Images/dark_blue_dlg_ok.gif" /></div>
</footertemplate>
<contentframestyle csstext="" />

Hi,

In addition, for certain other programming limitation (we are using IE 11) the "Compatibility Mode" for the local network is turned off. Strangely if I turn it back "On" for testing, the "BackShadeOpacity" does have effect.

Is there any way out of this, or this semi transparency to work IE absolutely need "Compatibility Mode" tuned on?

Thanks for your help.

Hi,

We tested this with our demo site and it works fine on IE 11. You can check this link and see if it works for you:

Hi,

I don't know what to say. Your web-link seems to work, but I'm not sure that we comparing apple-to-apple. The website is internet, my app is intranet. The IE setting might differently works for each. All I can say that in my case on IE 11.9.9600.18376 it only works if "Compatibility Mode" is turned off for the intranet setting.

Strange, I even renamed my CSS to see if it might interferes with EO's dialog object, but same result. I'm not sure at this point where else should look.


Thanks

Hi,

What version of EO.Web do you use? Could be that you are using an older version that was released before IE 11 was released?

Thanks!

Could be...although I'm not sure when the first IE 11 was released, here is our version of EO.Web:

Hi,

That's a pretty old version. I would definitely recommend you to try the new version first. Browsers update very quickly these days and it's not uncommon that every new version of a browser breaks a few things here and there. Because of that we have to constantly change our code to add new browser support. So make sure you always try the current version first for such issues.

Thanks!
