make a gui fade?

[t0ddie]

how would i make a gui fade on and off? (transparent to visible when you open it, and visible to transparent when you close it.)

WinSetTrans() maybe?

I prefer to use a For...Next loop. With using DllCall(), whilst the window is fading it seems to be in $WS_EX_TOOLWINDOW extended style and then returns to normal. Also if you use the function above and your window transparency is set to something other then 0 ( or 255 depending on what your using) it doesn't fade at all and will just show.

#include <GUIConstants.au3>

$hwnd = GUICreate("My GUI") ; will create a dialog box that when displayed is centered

WinSetTrans ($hwnd , "", 0)
GUISetState ()

For $I = 0 to 255 Step 5
   WinSetTrans($hwnd,"",$I)
   Sleep(1)
Next 

Sleep(2000)

For $I = 255 to 0 Step - 5
   WinSetTrans($hwnd,"",$I)
   Sleep(1)
Next
