Hi all,

does someone know how to fade in a BMP (there is nothing in the picturebox
and slightly the BMP appears) ?

Thanx in advance !

Sincerly,

QUICK Peter

I remember reading this (but can't remeber exactly how) in "Visual Basic 4
Mutimedia Adventure Set".  Basically use a lot of BltBit'ing with stippled
brushes and reveal or hide a pattern of dots in the bitmap a little at a
time.  This will work OK for any colour depth.

You could try and mess with the pallet info of the bitmap and darken the
colurs a little at a time. This would be 'prettier' on a hicolour display,
but poor on a locolour (16/256 colour) display.

You should check out Total Access Components from FMS,Inc.

The 32 bit ocx control has some bitmaps effects like you are talking about,
works with VB4-32 bit and VB5

HTH, Robert
