Has any one tried to use the opacity method of the desktopX.object class? I've written the following bit of code, it simply moves the object across the screen and makes it slowly disappear. Or it's supposed to. When I run this code the object moves ok, but the opacity isn't updated. When I uncomment the msgbox line below it works perfectly. Is there some kind of refresh method that I need to call?
Also, I'd like to avoid using a "sleep" call to slow this function down as it stalls all my other desktopX object at the same time. What's the best way to "pause" one desktopx object and release the process so that it can do other things?
Any and all help appreciated.
Function Object_OnLButtonDown(x, y)
desktopx.Object("YBar").left = 810
desktopx.Object("YBar").Opacity =100
counter = 0
For i = 1 To 100
desktopx.Object("YBar").left = 810 - i*8
counter = counter + 1
If counter = 10 Then
counter = 0
desktopx.Object("YBar").Opacity =100-i
'msgbox desktopx.Object("YBar").Opacity
End If
Next
desktopx.Object("YBar").left = 810
desktopx.Object("YBar").Opacity =100
End Function
