fade-in and fade out a form
I don't have a specific answer, but you may want to check out a fade
http://www.torry.ru/vcl/graphics/harmfade.zip
It is a TGraphicControl descendant, and (I think) could be used for
your purposes. It's free w/source, but has some assembler code that's a
little difficult to follow. The included demo shows how to do a screen
capture of whatever is beneath the control, so you could cover your
form, capture it, then use the fader to make it look like your form is
fading. It uses ScanLine, so will only work with D3 or D4. It does not
use palette, it's designed for 16 or 24 bit screen resolution.
The basic premise of this fade approach is to change the RGB values by
a percentage of the difference between the original and ultimate RGB
values.
Another place to check is Earl F. Glynn's Computer Lab pages, he has
some easier to follow examples there:
