Hi All,
When the user closes my app I would like the form to disapear slowly, I have
tried using the form opacity property in a loop driven by a timer. The form
disapears but the app does not end (I have to right click the icon in the
task bar and close it). Any idea why?
I have this code in the timer event:
formdim = formdim - 0.01
Me.Opacity = formdim
If formdim = 0.01 Then Timer1.Enabled = False : End
Thanks in advance,
Roger.

Hi Roger,
Did you try calling Close() at the end?

I don't know why but:
If formdim < 0.01 Then Timer1.Enabled = False : End
(I was using: If formdim = 0.01 Then Timer1.Enabled = False : End)
works fine?!?!?
Thanks anyways, Roger.

Roger,
You should avoid using "End", it is worser than that you tell the user to
click cntrl alt del.
"End" stops all activities including the cleaning up of your memory.
Use me.close instead as Miha sugested.
I hope this helps?
Cor
Yes, and make sure you call Close on the main form.

I think for long time now, that the current implementation of CSS

The soon forthcoming CSS3 recommendation does not serve the public

I'd like to load a form in the background (invisibly) and then, afer
the controls are all drawn (and resized, in this case), I'd like to
show it. I.e., I want the form to show up nice and crisply, without
showing the user a form building (kinda scary to a non technical user

As far as I know if I change the form's opacity, every control on the
form also inherits that opacity. But in many real applications (not
application programs), we see opaque text (100% opacity) on a
traslucent background, for example text messages on TV. Or look at the
title bar text of Aero. Background is translucent but the text is
opaque.
Is it possible to use 100% opaque text on a traslucent form?
