Thanks for the information.

This is the reason I love asking things on this forum. First of all you get a little respect. As I can see you know a lot about programming (from my point of view anyway), but you still go out of your way to try and explain why I should do things.
And secondly because of all the extra info I get. I am not nearly at a level that I will be overwriting stuff, of managing flags and what not. But I do so very much like to know these things beforehand, that way, when I do start running into those things, I have a little register in the back of my head that has a little info on the subject.

Again, thanks for the help. UI part is almost done, then I will hook the functional part to that, and will upload it here!

(I'll see if I can make it work with Daniweb too, that would be aa neat trick)

I decided to goahead and write that article for code project. Its still pending moderator approval but the link is :

I wrote a user32 wrapper class that handles all the fading directly without messing with the .net wrapper at all. It works unbelievably well, and its incredibly easy to use. You might want to archive this for future use, and if you get a second check it out. I wrote more comments then code, so it should be really easy to follow and its very clean code.

still looking forward to seeing that app

Bookmarked! Respect earned, and rep to follow shortly :p

Nice article, i can guarantee your code will be popping up in my apps from now on
