I want to set all dialogs (resources) to have transparent says. There are many dialogs with 100's of says. I need to add in each function oSay:ltransparent := .t. and many of the says are different and all local. Its a big job. Anybody have any suggestions?
All help appreciated as usual.

Fafi:
I set say.prg into rmk files. Changed ltransparent default to .t., compiled say.prg and it didn't work.
Thanks UWE you seem to be correct. Changing the class didn't work. But if the default is .f. for ltransparent it would seem logical that setting it to .t. should work.?????
Harvey,

Didn't you get the memo? Logic doesn't work on Wednesdays anymore.
Try this test. Add a msgInfo( oSay:lTransparent) after a redefined say in one of your dialogs. This will confirm the setting of lTransparent. Also try it in the ON INIT clause of the ACTIVATE DIALOG. Perhaps the say.prg you modified isn't getting linked, or the lTransparent value is getting changed somewhere else in TSay.
Or, logic doesn't work on Wednesdays...

I'll give it a try this evening.
James:
UWE is correct. Changing the ltranslparent to a .t. from a .f. does nothing.
I put a ? ltransparent direclty below the declaration of the ltransparent := .t. in say.prg and it shows up as a .f.
So logic is out on Wednesday.
Harvey,
I note that lTransparent is defaulted in several places in TSay.
If you changed the default in the New() method it would not affect the Refine() method. So when you redefine the say (even if just to test the value of lTransparent) it will default to false.
Where did you change the default value?
James
set in redifine. Actually both.
Harvey,
>The group box is hiding them when transparent. Any thoughts?
I seem to remember some recent discussion about that here. Try searching the forum.
James
Harvey,
if I remember right, you have to define the group box first and then the other controls in the box
