Fade-in Applications?

[Extasey]

I have seen it done, and done it myself (copy pasta source code). I want my little shutdown program to "fade" in. I have tried a few codes but they made no sense and didn't work in the end.

Can anyone help me? I'm assuming I'll have to do something with opacity levels...

I've done that a while ago, I will look for the source.
You use the timer and use it's interval to update opacity.

Yeah, I was thinking something along those lines...

Thanks!

Thanks! thats an awesome one!

The only problem is I cannot seem to replace the command button with an image...

I'll just make a button.

Ok, i dont really know what your talking about seen i didnt do the tutorial.

[Extasey]

Haha, its okay. Thanks for finding it!

I just made a tiny button to replace it so now it fades in but not out. Which is what I wanted.

Use this, timers will fudge over your CPU:

Code:

Form1_Load:
For FadeIn = 0.0 To 1.1 Step 0.1
Me.Opacity = FadeIn
Me.Refresh()
Threading.Thread.Sleep(100)
Next
