    Smile Nice fading in and out form effect

    Hi,

    A while ago I designed a small subroutine that would allow me to fade forms in and out. The effect is very nice and adds a bit of sleekness to your application. There is also a C# version, this can be found in the C# codebank here

    Code:
        Sub FormFade(ByVal FType)
            Select Case FType
                Case ("in")
                    Dim FadeCount As Integer
                    For FadeCount = 10 To 90 Step 10
                        Me.Opacity = FadeCount / 100
                        Me.Refresh()
                        Threading.Thread.Sleep(50)
                    Next
                Case ("out")
                    Dim FadeCount As Integer
                    For FadeCount = 90 To 10 Step -10
                        Me.Opacity = FadeCount / 100
                        Me.Refresh()
                        Threading.Thread.Sleep(50)
                    Next
            End Select
            Me.Opacity = 99
    
        End Sub
    This subroutine can be called like this:

    FormFade("in") for fading your form in
    FormFade("out") for fading your form out

    The form fade in can be implemented on your Form Load event handler like so:

    Code:
      Private Sub Form1_Load(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles Me.Load
            FormFade("in")
        End Sub
    The form fade out can be implemented on your Form Closing event handler as it will catch all attempts to close, not just ones you might add to your Command Button. This can be implemented like this:

    Code:
        Private Sub Form1_FormClosing(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e As System.Windows.Forms.FormClosingEventArgs) Handles Me.FormClosing
            FormFade("out")
        End Sub
    Additional Information

    This should work with all versions of .net

    As you have seen I have set Me.Opacity = 99. This is for two reasons. One being that the fade in effect does not fully reach the 100/99% so the form does not look solid. The second is that if fading out with 100% opacity the form will glitch slightly. You will notice no difference between 99% and 100% opacity though.

    I'd love to know what you think of this, yes it's not original, but for those looking for something like this, I think it is a good little script.

    Re: Nice fading in and out form effect

    To be more specific the glitch happens between 0.96 and 100.0, so to avoid the form flicker thing, have it fade in from 0.0 to 0.95, then from 0.95 back to 0.0 when fading out. Also, when avoiding the form flicker and setting the opacity to 0.95 the form is semi-transparent still.

    I'm working on a game that fades in when ran and fades out when closed, except I used an enumeration for the direction (In/Out) and a timer for a smoother effect.

    Edit: This flicker thing doesn't happen in .Net 1.1

    Re: Nice fading in and out form effect

    Here's how I do fading in and out using the form's opacity property and a Timer:
    Code:
    Option Explicit On
    Option Strict On
    
    Friend Class Form1
    
        Private m_UseFormFade As Boolean = False
        Private m_FadeSpeed As Integer = 30I
    
    #Region " FormFade Stuff "
        Private m_FormFadeDir As FadeDir = FadeDir.FadeIn
        Private m_FormHasFadedOut As Boolean = False
        Private WithEvents m_Timer As Timer
    
        Private Enum FadeDir
            FadeIn = 0I
            FadeOut = 1I
        End Enum
    #End Region
    #Region " Main Form: FormClosing, Load, Shown "
        Private Sub Form1_FormClosing(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e As System.Windows.Forms.FormClosingEventArgs) Handles Me.FormClosing
            If Not (m_Timer Is Nothing) AndAlso m_FormHasFadedOut = False Then
                e.Cancel = True
                m_Timer.Start()
            End If
        End Sub
    
        Private Sub Form1_Load(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles MyBase.Load
            If m_UseFormFade = True Then
                Me.Opacity = 0.0R
                m_Timer = New Timer()
                m_Timer.Interval = m_FadeSpeed
            End If
        End Sub
    
        Private Sub Form1_Shown(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles Me.Shown
            If Not (m_Timer Is Nothing) Then m_Timer.Start()
        End Sub
    #End Region
    #Region " FormFadeTimer "
        <System.Diagnostics.DebuggerStepThrough()> _
        Private Sub FormFadeTimer_Tick(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles m_Timer.Tick
            Select Case m_FormFadeDir
                Case FadeDir.FadeIn
                    Me.Opacity += 0.05R
                Case Else
                    Me.Opacity -= 0.05R
            End Select
            If Me.Opacity <= 0.0R OrElse Me.Opacity >= 1.0R Then
                m_Timer.Stop()
                If m_FormFadeDir = FadeDir.FadeIn Then
                    m_FormFadeDir = FadeDir.FadeOut
                    m_FormHasFadedOut = False
                Else
                    m_FormHasFadedOut = True
                    Me.Close()
                End If
            End If
        End Sub
    #End Region
    
        Private Sub CloseButton_Click(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles CloseButton.Click
            Me.Close()
        End Sub
    End Class
    This works for all versions of .Net and the .net 2.0 form flicker still happens with my code. Hopefully MS will fix that flicker in a future hotfix.

    Re: Nice fading in and out form effect

    shouldnt this
    vb Code:
    1. Private WithEvents m_Timer As Timer

    be this ?
    vb Code:
    1. Private WithEvents m_Timer As  New Timer


    and how would i change the speed that it fades out in?

    edit you change it in this line....
    Me.Opacity -= 0.05R

    i change it to
    Me.Opacity += 0.15R

    and it was alot faster, thank you

    No, the form's Load event is what handles that. I have it instantiated in the Load event to make use of the 'm_UseFormFade' variable, which determines whether the fade happens or not (easy way to turn the fade feature on and off)

    Or change the speed of the timer which would have it fade in / out much more smoothly. To change the speed of the timer change the 'm_FadeSpeed' variable, the smaller the number the faster the timer does the fade effect.

    Re: Nice fading in and out form effect

    Nice code, but why not use the AnimateWindow API?

    Code:
        Public Declare Auto Function AnimateWindow Lib "user32" (ByVal hwnd As IntPtr, ByVal time As Integer, ByVal flags As Integer) As Boolean
    
        Public Enum AnimateStyles
            Slide = 262144
            Activate = 131072
            Blend = 524288
            Hide = 65536
            Center = 16
            HOR_Positive = 1
            HOR_Negative = 2
            VER_Positive = 4
            VER_Negative = 8
        End Enum
        Private Sub Form1_Load(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles Me.Load
            AnimateWindow(Me.Handle, 1000, AnimateStyles.HOR_Negative Or AnimateStyles.Blend)
        End Sub

    Re: Nice fading in and out form effect

    I just tested it on 3.5 SP1 VS2008 on windows xp and windows vista and it worked. Are you using that exact code or did you modify it any?

    Re: Nice fading in and out form effect

    Shouldn't have anything to do with .Net. Its just a DLL call. Can you post your full form class?

    Re: Nice fading in and out form effect

    Just do it like my previous post states:

    Code:
        Public Declare Auto Function AnimateWindow Lib "user32" (ByVal hwnd As IntPtr, ByVal time As Integer, ByVal flags As Integer) As Boolean
    
        Public Enum AnimateStyles
            Slide = 262144
            Activate = 131072
            Blend = 524288
            Hide = 65536
            Center = 16
            HOR_Positive = 1
            HOR_Negative = 2
            VER_Positive = 4
            VER_Negative = 8
        End Enum
        Private Sub Button_Click(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles Button1.Click
            AnimateWindow(ChildForm.Handle, 1000, AnimateStyles.HOR_Negative Or AnimateStyles.Blend)
            ChildForm.ShowDialog();
        End Sub

    Re: Nice fading in and out form effect

    You have to declare it... You have to use all the code I posted.

    If you are having an issue post your code and I will help you debug it.

                    Dim FadeCount As Integer
                    For FadeCount = 10 To 90 Step 10
                        Me.Opacity = FadeCount / 100

    Re: Nice fading in and out form effect

    You are missing the declaration for AnimateWindow.

    Here is your code corrected:

    Code:
    Public Class Form1
    
        Public Declare Auto Function AnimateWindow Lib "user32" (ByVal hwnd As IntPtr, ByVal time As Integer, ByVal flags As Integer) As Boolean
    
        Public Enum AnimateStyles
            Slide = 262144
            Activate = 131072
            Blend = 524288
            Hide = 65536
            Center = 16
            HOR_Positive = 1
            HOR_Negative = 2
            VER_Positive = 4
            VER_Negative = 8
        End Enum
    
        Private Sub Form1_Load(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles MyBase.Load
    
        End Sub
    
        Private Sub Button1_Click(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles Button1.Click
            AnimateWindow(ChildForm1.Handle, 1000, AnimateStyles.HOR_Negative Or AnimateStyles.Blend)
            ChildForm1.ShowDialog();
        End Sub
    
    End Class

    There is an option in the properties bar for a form in Visual Studio called ShowInTaskbar set that to true or false.

    Re: Nice fading in and out form effect

    Are you using the FormFade or are you using AnimateWindow API? The examples I gave you were for the AnimateWindow API. I will have to do some testing if you are going to use the FormFade sub.

    Re: Nice fading in and out form effect

    The first code I gave you uses the AnimateWindow API. The code you posted uses samtheman code. So you shouldn't have the FormFade sub with my code.

    This is the code i have in my parent form.
    Code:
    Public Class Form1
    
        Public Declare Auto Function AnimateWindow Lib "user32" (ByVal hwnd As IntPtr, ByVal time As Integer, ByVal flags As Integer) As Boolean
    
        Public Enum AnimateStyles
            Slide = 262144
            Activate = 131072
            Blend = 524288
            Hide = 65536
            Center = 16
            HOR_Positive = 1
            HOR_Negative = 2
            VER_Positive = 4
            VER_Negative = 8
        End Enum
    
        Private Sub Form1_Load(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles MyBase.Load
    
        End Sub
    
        Private Sub Button1_Click(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles Button1.Click
            AnimateWindow(ChildForm1.Handle, 1000, AnimateStyles.HOR_Negative Or AnimateStyles.Blend)

    Re: Nice fading in and out form effect

    So if I understand you correctly, when you press the button, the child form is NOT fading in?

    Re: Nice fading in and out form effect

    I ran the code you posted and the ChildForm blends correctly... Can you post your code again from your IDE to make sure I'm not missing something.

    Can you paste the designer code for childform? I used the above code and it worked fine.

    *waits for chris to jump in with his WPF bandwagon*

    Fading a single control on the form is going to be extremely tricky, winforms wasn't designed with that in mind. WPF on the other hand has all of those things in mind.
