Greetings.

I have a splash screen (userform) that fades in, and when clicked on fades
out (using WinAPI calls).

My question is, at the moment the user has to click on the splash screen to
begin the fade out process (the splash screen contains contact information
that may be useful so didn't want it too appear and then vanish without user
interaction) just wondering if anyone knows a way where no matter where the
user clicks it will vanish?

Not an urgent problem, but pondering if anyone can set me on the right line,
perhaps just tell me the WinAPI call that may be required, or perhaps this
can be done with VBA?

Extra note, when the user clicks on the form that uses the userform_click
event and simply turns a boolean from false to true (hasClicked) this checked
with a winApi timer.

Cheers for any advice shuffled this way.

Doesn't sound a good idea to me. What if they idly click whilst it is fading
in, that will register and trigger the fade out.

Better to make it an explicit click on the form.

Cheers, hadn't gone over that thought.

Thanks I shall leave it as it is.

I think that is the best option, after all it isn't that big an imposition,
and the form is there for a specific purpose.
