Re: [2008] Get part of background image covered by ListView control
Obi..I think I have this solved.
It did require adding the 3rd option like you did to set a custom background source. Once that was done, I had to code a loop to calculate the x/y coordinates of the control in relation to n levels down of parents to get to the control that is assigned as the CustomContainer.
So you may also want to add some error handling to the setter of the CustomContainer to ensure that when someone sets that property, they are only allowed to set it to a control that is actually a container to the control you are making transparent. Otherwise it will likely hit an infinite loop when trying to calculate the x/y (since it loops back each parent until the one you specified is hit)
Anyway, here is a test project with the modified code in it, and you can see I tried both vertical and horizontal split containers on top of panels with the bg image, and it looks to me to be working fine.
