Differing transparency?

[magician13134]

I've been away for awhile, but I'm still the same n00b I was then, and I've got a question.... is there anyway in Autoit to create differing transparency values for a single GUI? To perhaps produce a fading effect? Or a Vista-like effect? Or perhaps control transparency of a single control? Thanks.

Quick and dirty fading effect:

#include <GUIConstants.au3>

GUICreate("My Fading GUI")

GUISetState ()

While 1
    $msg = GUIGetMsg()
    
    If $msg = $GUI_EVENT_CLOSE Then
        FadeOut()
        ExitLoop
    EndIf
Wend

Func FadeOut()
    For $i = 255 To 0 Step -1
        WinSetTrans ( "My Fading GUI", "", $i )
    Next
EndFunc

Just be sure to use the initial WinSetTrans of zero so you don't have a flicker at the start of the fadein.

Oh, no, that's not what I meant by fading. Sorry, I should've been more specific. I mean like the google desktop sidebar. Where the right side is totally opaque and it fades to the left to totally transparent. Sorry about that

Ah, then you'll wanna take a look at this post.
