Change the color of the content area of a table

Is there a way to change the color of the content area of a table? I want to set the table to be transparent, but I don't know how to do that.

I'm not exactly clear on what you are trying to achieve. However, I tried setting the body of the table to transparent using the paintbrush tool, and that is insufficient. I then did the following:

1) Highlight the table (i.e., crawling ants border)

2) In the menu bar, select Edit >> Customize Control...

3) In the new pop-up window, go to the menu bar and click on the wrench icon to turn it into tweezers.

4) Pull apart the control, and use the paintbrush tool to make both the table body and the plane beneath it transparent.

5) Save it as you see fit, such as Type Def or Strict Type Def.

Attached is a crude example.

In general to make control transparent, you need to make transparent all layers in the view. Depending on control pallette, there can be a different number of layers.

Do not have that tool in LV2011, can not check names.

Is it a table control or 2D array?

For array:.

1) Move control out of the array.

2) Make array template background transparent

3) Make transparent control (2011 version, later can be different): take "simple string" from classic panel, select transparent for both border and background

4) Move control back to array

5) Activate it, otherwise will be grayed area

For table (LV 2011):

Classic table. Straightforward - click with paint tool on the cell - one layer to make transparent

Modern table - 2 layers have to be transparent.: you need to make transparent both cells background and then whole table background, accessible from the border

Silver: disassemble as Chris_12345 has suggested
