Is it possible to set Alpha to .75 or .50 (transparent) for Parent view but the Child views/controls are opaque (Alpha channel 1.0 – completely visible).
Whenever i set Alpha of my main UIView to transparent, all the child views/controls are also shown as transparent. Is there any workaround?
The parent that acts as your background should be changed to a sibling before the container that wraps your children. That way you can set the transparency without affecting the entire hierarchy.
This would look like this.
<item-container><item-background><children-container><children/>This hierarchy, would have the same visibility order and let you set the opacity independently of the contents of the children container.
