Lucid Posted December 6, 2013 Posted December 6, 2013 I'm still new to AutoIt and have run into something I can't seem to figure out. It seems like it shouldn't be too hard to do, but I can't find anything on the web or these forums, and my own testing hasn't come up with anything usable. What I'm trying to do is have some label text (within a GUI that I created) fade in, wait maybe 60 seconds, fade out, and a second message fade in, wait 60 seconds, and then fade out (repeating for a couple of other messages). Can anyone point me in the right direction, or share some code, to help get me rolling? Thanks!

Lucid Posted December 6, 2013 Author Posted December 6, 2013 Thanks guys. That'll help. UEZ - If I use your code, when I try and add a background image using GUICtrlCreatePic, things get all whacky. Am I missing something simple? And if I can't get it to work I'll probably drop back to doing another GUI on top like Guinness suggested.

Lucid Posted December 27, 2013 Author Posted December 27, 2013 Thanks for the example UEZ. I haven't done much with GDI+ just yet, so I'm still trying to understand some of the code Is there any way to have the LabelFader text appear with a transparent background (instead of the white box as shown in your example) over the top of the background image? I'm going to keep digging into the code to see if I can figure it out, but thought I'd post in case it was an easy answer (although my Google-fu is failing me so far).
