Description

Transparency is the degree to which a color is opaque. True transparency is only supported at the layer level. For graphic elements, 0 for transparent and 255 for opaque are the only supported values. Use either the ILayerEffects or ITransparencyRenderer interfaces to set layer transparency. For layer transparency to work properly the display device must be set to "True Color (32 bit)".

Remarks

The default value is 255.
