Set the opacity in a loop, calling Invalidate and Application.DoEvents so they get shown, then close the form.

If you're using VB6, you need to say so. If you're using VB.NET, then do what I said.

VB6 or VB.NET?!?

OK, I can only assume when you say VB, you mean VB6. VB6 is a dead language, and it sucked to start with. If you have any choice, move to VB.NET. Otherwise, tell people you're using VB6 when you ask questions here.

Hi Graus, You said VB6 is a dead language. But nobody have a little experience in working with VB should'nt say like that. They would say it as the most flexible language. We can write a complex coding in other language in a very simple way in VB. By Dileeeeeeeep.

It's dead. MS stopped supporting it entirely. It's been replaced, thankfully, with VB.NET. Finally! Real OOP support!

In VB.NET this would have been easy. In VB6, I don't think you can do it because VB6 creates its forms differently, without support for Layered Windows, which is required to support opacity.

1 - it's dead in that it is no longer supported and will not be subject to any updates or service packs 2 - actually, the way this works in VB6 is usually that you write 2 lines of code that call a C++ COM object to do the complex stuff that VB cannot do.

Hi Xandip, I hope the code is useful... Here is the API declaration :
Private Declare Function GetWindowLong Lib "user32" Alias "GetWindowLongA" _ (ByVal hwnd As Long, ByVal nIndex As Long) As Long Private Declare Function SetLayeredWindowAttributes Lib "user32" _ (ByVal hwnd As Long, ByVal crey As Byte, ByVal bAlpha As Byte, ByVal dwFlags As Long) As Long Private Declare Function SetWindowLong Lib "user32" Alias "SetWindowLongA" _ (ByVal hwnd As Long, ByVal nIndex As Long, ByVal dwNewLong As Long) As Long Private Declare Sub Sleep Lib "kernel32" (ByVal dwMilliseconds As Long) Private Const GWL_EXSTYLE = (-20) Private Const LWA_ALPHA = &H2& Private Const WS_EX_LAYERED = &H80000Here is the code where you should use :Private Sub Command2_Click() Dim fadeCtr As Integer Call SetWindowLong(Me.hwnd, GWL_EXSTYLE, GetWindowLong(Me.hwnd, GWL_EXSTYLE) Or WS_EX_LAYERED) For fadeCtr = 255 To 0 Step -1 Call SetLayeredWindowAttributes(Me.hwnd, 0, fadeCtr, LWA_ALPHA) DoEvents Call Sleep(5) Next End End SubPlease dont use this code in Unload event of form - as you observe, I had used DoEvents in the above function. If this is useful, reply me to answer again.
