Question

I have the code to make the form partially transparent when is being moved, but I want to know if it’s possible to add fade-in and fade-out effects when I start moving and stop moving the form.

EDIT

The code I am using to add transparency to the form is:

        bool canMove = false;

    private void Form1_Load(object sender, EventArgs e)
    {
        canMove = true;
    }

    private void Form1_Move(object sender, EventArgs e)
    {
        if (canMove)
        {
            this.Opacity = 0.7;
        }
    }

    private void Form1_ResizeEnd(object sender, EventArgs e)
    {
        this.Opacity = 1;
    }

Answer 1

You should use a Timer control, set the opacity in timer’s tick event. until the form stops moving (define a variable like isMoving and set it to true/false based on form’s status).

You can find an example of setting opacity in timer’s tick event in my article about a fading label. Use Google translator to read it.

Hope this helps.
