This will alpha blend your form when its unloaded cool effect thats alreayd built into windows, i couldn't find anything with the keyword alpha blend that used the AnimateWindow API, so i thought i would
VBcodersIn Your General Section Include This:
Private Declare Function AnimateWindow Lib "user32" (ByVal hwnd As Long, ByVal dwTime As Long, ByVal dwFlags As Long) As Boolean
Private Const AW_HIDE = &H10000
Private Const AW_BLEND = &H80000
On Form_Unload put:
fd = AnimateWindow(Form1.hwnd, 1000, AW_BLEND + AW_HIDE)
End
This will blend your form to whats behind it as long as its the top window. you must include End also without it, it will just hide your program.
