Hi
i'm trying to make a window 'fade out'. i do something like this:

Dim opac As Decimal
For opac = 1 To 0 Step -0.05
me.opacity = opac
Next

(this is a highly simplified version of what i actually do)
the point is, it flickers. it seems like when the window's opacity is
first changed (say, from 1 to 0.95) it flickers. later on it fades out
ok. just the first move to transpaerncy is not smooth. this occures
every time with many different types of windows i tried it on. anybody
else had that experience? any idea what can be done?

thanks

Are you using double buffering?
