Visual Basic 6, or VB Classic

Original Author: Joseph Simpson

Code

In Your General Section Include This:

Private Declare Function AnimateWindow Lib "user32" (ByVal hwnd As Long, ByVal dwTime As Long, ByVal dwFlags As Long) As Boolean


Private Const AW_HIDE = &H10000

Private Const AW_BLEND = &H80000



On Form_Unload put:

fd = AnimateWindow(Form1.hwnd, 1000, AW_BLEND + AW_HIDE)

End


This will blend your form to whats behind it as long as its the top window. you must include End also without it, it will just hide your program.
