Form screen location and fade in and fade out

[Winston]

Hey guys how would i be able to show a form and position it so that it's where the MSN alert popups are...

not basically estimating the location points but programmitcally work it out becoz different resolutions will obviously be a different, so yeah...

 

and also how would i be able to show the form by slowly fading it in and fading it out just like fade out menus

You can get the width and height of the screen with

Screen.PrimaryScreen.WorkingArea.Width 'or .Height

. Just subtract the width and height of your form from the respective screen dimension and it will be in the corner.

 

As for fading, I'm not sure. There may be a way to make Windows automatically do it (like what it does for a menu), but otherwise try looking into the Opacity property. You may be able to do it that way.
