Does anyone know how to make the listbox component’s background transparent while still being able to select the rows within it?  
[[color=#000000]I saw this thread - [/color]http://www.kirupa.com/forum/showthread.php?t=71068&highlight=listbox+background](http://www.kirupa.com/forum/showthread.php?t=71068&highlight=listbox+background) but the link to the article is dead. If anyone understands the concept of “checking when drawFillRow is being called on \*\*bG\_mc \*\*(the row background) and set’s it’s \_alpha to 0”, that would be great.

Thanks 😃
