How to set a opacity in textbox for background and foreground color in windows phone 7.1?

I want to set a opacity in textbox in windows phone 7.1. I want to set opacity 20% for the background with #503E28 color code and 50% for foreground with #3B2D1E color code in the textbox in windows phone 7.1.

Solution

  • Try adding the alpha channel into the colour code

    <TextBox Foreground="#803B2D1E"
 Background ="#33503E28" ... />

    I believe WP uses ARGB values, so the first value is A (alpha). Alternatively, you can style it using Expression Blend.
