The return value is meaningless.

Parameters

hWnd

The window handle (HWND) of the Consoul window, as returned by CSCreateLogWindow.

bPercent

Valid range is [0..100].

A value of 0 (zero) restores full opacity of the Consoul window.

Remarks

Windows version < 8 does not support color or alpha channel transparency for non top level windows, meaning that CSSetAlphaTransparency will have no effect on those OSes for Consoul windows created with an hwndParent <> 0 (zero) with CSCreateLogWindow.
