IsFormTransparentAvailable

Syntax

Delphi

function IsFormTransparentAvailable: Boolean;

C++Builder

bool __fastcall IsFormTransparentAvailable(void);

Description

The IsFormTransparentAvailable function checks whether transparency mode is supported on the current system.

Transparency is available only under Windows 2000 or higher, and requires a 16- or 32-bit display mode. This function is typically used before enabling transparency in TTransparentFlashPlayerControl (for example, when setting the MakeParentTransparent property to True).

Delphi Example

if Not IsFormTransparentAvailable then
begin
  ShowMessage('Translucency based on Flash is not available');
  Application.Terminate;
end;

C++Builder Example

if (!Flashplayercontrol::IsFormTransparentAvailable())
{
  ShowMessage("Translucency based on Flash is not available");
  Application->Terminate();
}
