Change the Opacity property of your form in a timer or something like that. Mazy "Improvisation is the touchstone of wit." - Molière

it doesn't work! the interval property of timer is 100! this is my code,is there anything wrong? private void button1_Click(object sender, System.EventArgs e) { this.Opacity = 0; timer1.Start(); } private void timer1_Tick(object sender, System.EventArgs e) { this.Opacity = this.Opacity + 5; if(this.Opacity >= 100) { timer1.Stop(); } } Tuliplanet

Hey.. You have to set the timers interval, when it has to run the method. Timer newTimer = new Timer(); newTimer.Interval = 1000; // one sec newTimer.Tick += new EventHandler(TheMethod); // .. newTimer.Start(); :)

By the way this will solve it: Tuliplanet wrote: this.Opacity = this.Opacity + 5; Change it to

this.Opacity = this.Opacity + 0.05;

You should use numbers between 0 to 1. Mazy "Improvisation is the touchstone of wit." - Molière

Hehe.. Easy man. Didnt see that sorry. Anyways.. You could also use Thread and ThreadStart? using System.Threading; //.. ThreadStart ts = new ThreadStart(TheMethod); Thread t = new Thread(ts); t.Start(); // .. public void TheMethod(){ for(int i = 0;i<=100;i++){ Thread.Sleep(10); // Perform Code } }

The problem is not with thread or timer. He set the wrong value for that property. :) Mazy "Improvisation is the touchstone of wit." - Molière
