Notes #
Embedded Containers and Transparency #
Embedded ContainerControls must have their Transparent property set to False. On Windows, setting this to True causes a litany of issues, but GraffitiGrid simulates transparency on containers by setting the Backdrop of the ContainerControl to the content of the space it occupies on the Grid. This allows ContainerControls that are embedded to display the Hover or Selection color, or allows you to perform other customizations in the Draw* events.
