I have written a simple routine that does this, and best of all, it does not require screwing around with palettes and DIBs. It works with any kind of graphics file that can be loaded into a picturebox and can also create transparent fadeins/fadeouts. If you don't want to do a transparent fadein, then just copy the background and picbox into memory and blt the two into the destination picbox. To fade-out, just change the blt source to the background on the blt near the end. ------------------------- Burt Abreu http://www.VBExplorer.com ------------------------
