Problem: Unable to Use IColor::Transparency to Set a Degree of Transparency

Description

** Internal Publish Only! This article may contain information that is not intended for external circulation. **

Using IColor::Transparency to set the degree of transparency does not seem to work.
It appears that either the color is transparent with transparency = 0, or it is fully opaque when using a value greater than 0.

Cause

This property has not been fully implemented to take advantage of setting a range of transparency.

Solution or Workaround

Use 0 for transparent and any value greater than 0 for opaque.

Note:
View the ILayerEffects::Transparency  topic in ArcObjects Developer Help for another option.
