Transparent UserControl

[serdar.c]

i have written a costum user control for my program works like an empty
windows form,
for styling and using reasons. and then i create inherited controls from
that my main form design..
everything workd great till this point.. and then my client wanted the forms
appear from full transparency
to full opaque, and i realized that windows controls dont have an opacity
property... so my question is
how can i add transparency animation to my control?

p.s.: i have searched the msdn and couldnt find a q/a for this situation..
thanx for spending your time..

Hello Serdar,

Believe Bob wrote something about it here:

However, there are a lot of problems involved in this. This will work as
long as
you don't use double buffer. However, not using double buffering will cause
your
application to flicker if your control has animation.
