I have been trying, without success, to get rid of a �Blink� at the start of a small program.
My program opens with a title page (Form2, which is visible at 100% Opacity) that I want to fade after a few seconds, this works fine except that at the first reduction of opacity, Timer1's first 'Tick', the whole of Form2 blacks out for a moment. (Blinks)
I have a short demo program to show what I mean but don�t think I can attach it to this question. The code is shown here but I don�t know how to include Form1 and Form2. They are very simple however, they�re both Size 1000,600
Form1 has a single Button (Exit) and a Timer; Form2 has a full-size photo as background.
Public Class Form1
Private Sub Button1_Click(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles Button1.Click

I developed the code on a XP machine, but I also get the same 'Blink' on my Win. 7 Pro machine.
How to make the Button.Text Blinking?

View 9 RepliesI have a form in an application I'm working on that normally displays full screen without a taskbar but provide the option to switch to a minimizable window with a taskbar. When I switch from full screen without taskbar to minimizable window with taskbar everything is ok. When I try to switch back to full screen the border disappears but the taskbar is still there and the form is not aligned properly.The text at the top is cut off somewhat and there's a small margin at the right edge that shouldn't be there.I put this code in a keydown event for the form.
If Me.FormBorderStyle = System.Windows.Forms.FormBorderStyle.None Then
Me.ControlBox = True
Me.FormBorderStyle = System.Windows.Forms.FormBorderStyle.Sizable[code]....
How do I get the taskbar to disappear and the form to display properly when I return to the full screen mode?
