Automatically vanishing/ blending messagebox popup in MFC

I have a CScrollview window.I have added copy-to-Clipboard functionality with doubleclick. But user does not know if it is happening or not. So I want to add a message box but that automatically vanishes or blends, so that user doesn't have to click OK button or anything. But I don,t want to make the popup or the vanishing of it too abrupt. I have no idea how to do it. Can I draw a BMP/PNG image and increase its transparency or something like that? Anyone please guide me to the way to achieve it.

Note: my application is for xp/win7.

From VS2008 SP1 upward take a look at the CMFCDesktopAlertWnd class (MSDN here)

Quoting from the Remarks section on MSDN (my emphasis)

A desktop alert window can be transparent, it can appear with animation effects, and it can disappear (after a specified delay or when the user dismisses it by clicking the close button).
