>>The author provided a framework for displaying a pop-up type message at the lower right-hand corner of the screen. This is similar to the "pop-ups" provided in Outlook 2003 when a new message arrives. After the pop-up is displayed, it begins to fade away. Hope this helps.

I have not looked at it extensively -- quick look at article. It appears to use standard VFP to raise and lower the pop-up effect. You can optionally have the form once "poped-up" fade away instead -- this is accomplished with an api call. It is provided in a visual class with a couple of demo forms.
