ShowCoordinatesBehavior Has Black Background

Question

Where does the ShowCoordinatesBehavior inherit its background color from and how can I change it?  It should be transparent... but I am seeing a back box behind the coordinates...

Thanks!!!

Well bummer... Doesn't seem to matter if it is a "Full Trust" app either.  Guess I will have to find some other means of showing these coordinates to the user.  I'll try to work out a fixed window and display the coordinates in it using something like: MyMap.ScreenToMap(screenPoint)...

Well thanks a lot for looking into this, I REALLY appriciate it!!!  Thank you!

This seems to be a limitation on WPF Browser Application as discussed in this link http://www.netframeworkdev.com/windows-presentation-foundation-wpf/problem-with-popup-bakground-in-xbap-application-77838.shtml I tried creating a popup outside our API and followed the suggestion of setting AllowsTransparency to False and explicitly setting a Background. However, when Background is set to {x:Null} or Transparent, the background remains black. It only accepted Background when set to "White" or other colors. Due to this limitation, we also cannot support it at this time.

Jennifer, Thanks a lot for doing all that testing... I am running a .NET 4 WPF Web Application (XBAP) and I just tried it as a regular WPF application and it displays fine, but as a Web Application (XBAP) it has this black background.   Hmmm, so what is the difference between those two... not sure what I could do to fix it...

Attached a screen shot of the black background.

Thanks a lot for the help!!!
