Form Opacity Property

[Guest]

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 have just tried Close( ) but that behaves the same way - any other idea's??

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?

Yes, and make sure you call Close on the main form.
