Surely you mean a timer control, a loop or a repeating thread? Anyway the best way to make an animation like this would be to use a sprite rather than the window itself (custom type for the window animation API or manually implemented using graphical methods) as the form DC is constantly re-drawn and consequently looks jerky.

Also the question was fairly specific, about alphablending on a MDI form, as well as being several months old!
