I am sure, I am not the first one who thought about it, but it is nice. I like it very much !

#include <GUIConstants.au3>

GUICreate("mygui",300,200,-1,-1)
GUISetState ()
GUICtrlCreateButton ("OK", 50,50,40,25)
While 1
    $msg = GUIGetMsg()
    
    If $msg = $GUI_EVENT_CLOSE Then ExitLoop
Wend

For $i = 250 To 0 Step -10
    WinSetTrans ( "mygui", "", $i )
    Sleep(50)
Next

Easy and nice !

That's good.
If you use that with a modification of ResNullius' script for closing a window you get this

I love the effect of the RollUp, looks great.

[Mast3rpyr0]

Thats cool. If you put a number like 50000 in the For loop then it keeps flashing.

Both are very nice!!

Thats because a window transparency is solid at 250.

Doesn't work very well on my old laptop PC- lots of flickering and the size change is not at all smooth. On my newer but not fast desktop PC it's even worse. For me it's best to keep the resizing and transparency separate.

Even with the transparency alone I have some flickering as well !!!

It is quite impressive what ideas of people can do when put toghether...

Well, that sounds like a bit of a challenge
I'm sure it can be done smoothly, just have to figure it out.
However, I am leaving for a 3 or 4 day trip, sans computer or web access, so I'll have to have a go at it when I get back.

[fowmow]

Same here (regarding flickering and such). It looks choppy (assuming I'm using choppy correctly) and the fading doesn't even occur until its almost gone.

I, admiring after ResNullius' code again, wrote an example of it with fade out. It's not pretty, and I do get *one* initial flicker, which I don't even undersand...

...but if anyone would like to see it, let me know. It's hard coded (I know, horrible), and probably sloppy to boot.

I don't follow. How would one do that, except for not having a transparency effect whilst resizing?

OK, I'm back from my little trip and have been tinkering with this a bit.
I've cleaned up the code, changed some of the logic, and made the roll-up callable with or without 2 different transparency effects.
Run the demo to see.
I know there is probably a much simpler way of dealing with the whole logic of interspersing the transparency with the rollup, but I'm so far down this road that I can't see anything else right now.
I've tested with different GUI styles and sizes but, as always, feedback appreciated on results, flicker, etc on different systems. Thanks

@martin,
Should now work OK with $WS_SIZEBOX and other styles

@cramaboule,
Sorry for hijacking your thread, but it's really martin's fault for combining the two ideas in the first place

        Case 2
            $GuiTitle = "Transparency on Height & Width Both"
    EndSwitch
    $gui = GUICreate($GuiTitle, 400, 450, -1, -1);,$WS_Sizebox)

Hello.. Windows XP SP2 Works Great! No flickering,,, Although when it rolls up and disapears it opens right back up till manually closed. Is this intended?

Hello.. Windows XP SP2 Works Great! No flickering,,, Although when it rolls up and disapears it opens right back up till manually closed. Is this intended?

If you're talking about the demo it iterates through three instances as indicated by the Gui title(s):
1) "No Transparency"
2) "Transparency on Width Only"
3) "Transparency on Height & Width Both"

So just click the "Roll it up" button when the Gui reappears to see the next iteration.

If that's not what you mean, can you explain or provide an example? Thanks.
