<p>TXTextControl does not seem to respect the transparency (alpha) channel when rendering images. We would like to be able to add transparent images to documents for a watermark effect using the "above the text" option, and have the text or any tables show through.</p><br /> <p>In TextControl, if the "above the text" option is used, the image completely obscures the text; if the "below the text" option is used, the image may be hidden by fill colors in tables. Our workaround is to use "below the text" and change all our templates to use no fill colors in the tables, but we would prefer to use "above the text" with a transparent image so our document specialists don't have to be concerned with the fill color setting. I am aware it may be possible to intercept a print page event when printing or when using TextControl's print preview and apply a watermark at that point, but unfortunately we need to apply the watermark in the RTF file itself.</p><br /> <p>Thank you for considering this request.</p>
