In a Winform application, I'd like to animate the showing of a form a bit like when an email comes in and the notification window raises slowly from the bottom of the task bar.
I've got a few ideas involving timers and resize but they all seem complicated and/or clumsy so I wonder if anybody could suggest a simple way to do this or some magic function I could use to do it automatically.
I'm using VS 2005 and .NET framework 2

If anyone could help me with this it would be very appriciated as this has been stressing me out for weeks.

I've seen a lot of new stuff in VB that the Basic language didn't used to have, so I'm wondering how far animation has come in VB.
Really I'm looking for ideas to get my imagination going.[code]...
I fear that there is something obviously wrong with my code, but I have come across a situation where the Form.Load event is not firing when I create and show my form. The form is not subclassed (as I've seen some problems with that in some searches), and I am not getting any errors thrown when I step through the code in the debugger.
I have a break point set on the IDE-created form load function (which does have the Handles MyBase.Load signature suffix) but the breakpoint is never reached and the form does display and work.The form is passed three arguments in the constructor but the IntializeComponent() function is called before anything else is done.
[Code]...
I open a form using .showdialog and load some info onto it. I have code that runs on the MyBase.Load event. Basically, I have a Try, Catch, End Try block and if the Catch executes in preparing my information, I want the form to stop loading i.e. give a message and not show at all.

View 2 RepliesIs there a way to animate a TextBlock's colour change?
At the moment I am basically using the enter/leave events to change the colour and I would like to a almost like a fade (but a fast fade, so .1/.2 secs) to give it a nicer visual appearance instead of being instantaneous.
ps. Due to constraints, the actual code is vb.net but I will accept c#.net answers as I can read both fine. Just learning WPF.
Why is my MDIChild form not being displayed in my MDIParent form? I want to click a button on form frmStudyResultsFilter which will then display an MDIContainer form frmCalculatedResults (maximized). When frmCalculatedResults is shown I want a small dialog modal form to be in the center of frmCalculatedResults. For some reason frmCalculatedResults will not show on top. Plus I get this error"Form that is not a top-level form cannot be displayed as a modal dialog box. Remove the form from any parent form before calling ShowDialog." Here is my code:
Public Class frmStudyResultsFilter
Private Sub btnCalculated_Click(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles btnCalculated.Click
Dim frm As New frmCalculatedResults

I'm sure I'm doing my login process for my app in a not so perfect way, but as with lots of things, it works. The issue is to make it work I have to use the very unpopular DoEvents thing. I would like my application to show a login screen before loading my main form. Currently I have a login dialog box with a FormOpen boolean property and an authenticated boolean property. If a user logs in successfully, I hide the login form, set formopen to false, and authenticated to true. If they cancel out, then I do the same and just set the authenticated property to false. If authenticated=false then I end the app, else I show the main form via application.run(MainForm)

I am making a Sport Carnival timer for a local school. Currently, I have the results go into another form that I want to get printed. I tried using the PrintForm method, but it did not work as I have to show, and have that window open to print it. This form also has graphics that I want to print too.
View 3 RepliesI'm trying to figure out how to set the form's location/size before calling the .show method. I figured out the location part, but still can't figure out the size part. No matter what size I set the form to in the designer, it never uses that, so I figured I would set it with code right after setting the location.
'set location before .show
Form2.StartPosition = FormStartPosition.Manual
Form2.Location = New Point(103, 449)

I have a form that has two buttons and a lable on it. The first button shows up and works fine (it opens a file). But the second button does not show up on the form at all. Yes, the Visible property = TRUE. I also have a second label on the screen, but it is not showing up either.

When textbox1.focus() at that time i clicked Control + Enter key, the formid=55 is showing instead of formid=54.
I have a single form called 'FolderSelector' with a label, textbox and a button.The problem I'm having is that everytime I run the application, the only thing that shows up is a blank form called 'Form1', the program runs everything it should do except to show the actual form which is really weird.Here's the code in case there's something in there that's causing it that I haven't spotted.
Imports System.IO.Directory
Public Class FolderSelector
Public Const SPI_SETDESKWALLPAPER As Integer = &H14
Public Const SPIF_UPDATEINIFILE As Integer = &H1

I wrote an application with multiple forms.One form is used to show any kind of messages helpful to the user (frmMessageWindow).The user has the option to not show frmMessage Window.I would like to hide frmMessageWindowbut keep it loaded and continue to add messages to it so they will be available when the user chooses to show the form again.I use frm MessageWindow.Visible = false to hide the form and this works fine.But there is a check box on frmMessageWindow and if I check the value from another form it makes frmMessageWindow visible.
