Hi all,
I have created a simple popup form that rather nicely fades in to the screen for the user. It has a 3 hour countdown on. I have not forced it to stay on the screen the whole time so that the user can carry on working. Every 30 minutes I want the form to fade in on top of the running applications to remind the user of the countdown.
Unfortunately, I cannot seem to get the form to show up. I have tried me.show() and me. Focus=true but it does not work. I have resorted to forcing the form to minimize and than restore to normal using the code below.
Me.WindowState = FormWindowState.Minimized
Me.WindowState = FormWindowState.Normal
This causes some rather annoying flickering of the screen and I would rather the form was to simply fade in to view.
Can anyone give me some suggestions?
Cheers.
