2199.0. "background_pixmap question?" by KAOU35::DLEROUX () Mon Feb 05 1990 08:59

    Is it possible to set the background_pixmap attribute to "none" in
    UIL like you can with Xlib?  I want to have a transparent window
    on top of another window so that the user can scribble on the
    transparent window without affecting the underlying one.
    
    Thanks,

    	Nope.  I tried this earlier and when I compile the uil module
    it gives me ... None must be defined before ... expected pixmap...

    Declare None as the value 0;

    Now I get a ...integer value found when expecting pixmap.
    
    According to the manual the default should be null but
    there doesn't seem to be a way to force it.

end module;
