Developer Guide

To add translucent effects to a layer, use a style override to change the original style of the layer.

L

When you programmatically superimpose an override style modifier (OverrideType =
AddNew), the first style drawn is the feature's style. Since the superimposed style is
translucent, the features show through it.

1. In Workspace Manager’s Layer Control, select the "root" node in the layer control (this

corresponds to the map). In the Style tab select Enable Translucency.

2. Select the layer you want to add translucency to, move it to the top of the list, then add a style

override.

3. On the Visibility tab for the style override, click the style button that is specific to the objects in

that layer. For this example click the Area style button.
