Question

Ok, i have a closing event on my form. The code inside it fades the form out, then opens the other form. Is there a way i can wait until the fade is done? Here is my code:

    private void form1_closing(object sender, FormClosingEventArgs e)
    {
        if (this.Opacity > 0.01f)
        {
            e.Cancel = true;
            timer1.Interval = 47;
            timer1.Enabled = true;
            timer1.Start();

        }
        else
        {
            timer1.Enabled = false;
        }
    }

    private void timer2_Tick(object sender, EventArgs e)
    {
        progressBar1.Increment(+1);
        label4.Text = progressBar1.Value.ToString() + "%"; 
        if (progressBar1.Value == 100)
        {
            progressBar1.Value = 100; 
            timer2.Stop();
            this.Close();
            Form2 frm2 = new Form2();
            frm2.Show(); 
        }
    }

Basically, form2 is opening early, i want it to wait after the fade effect is done. 🙂

this code should do, I guess.

private void Form1_FormClosing(object sender, FormClosingEventArgs e)
    {
        for (double i = 1.0; i > 0.0; i-=0.01)
        {
            this.Opacity = i;
            Thread.Sleep(10);
        }

  //Handle whatever you want to do here. The control comes here only when the form is faded out.
    }
