Rectangle animation

On older Mac OSes,when you double clicked a folder,program,file,a rectangle animation would come up and then show a window.
So in my program I want a rectangle animation to pop up from a button and show a form.I have a series of images ready so can you help me please? ;)

Hi,

Create a second form, for example Form2 and then use this code in form1
with a button1:

VB Code:

Private Sub Button1_Click(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles Button1.Click
        Dim Form2 As New Form2
        Form2.Show()
    End Sub

Wkr,

I know this. what i want is the rectangle animation.
how do i do it?

anyone?

Are you going to draw this animation on an existing form?

what you are talking about is a function of the MacOS.. much like the way vista has lots of built in "eye candy" with forms now.

You could write this code functionality, but you would have to test it under different operating systems, to see how it looked.

For example, if you implemented something like what you are talking about, how would it look on vista? would you get the custom programmed effect, plus the effects the vista OS already has? Would that look good or really crappy?

I only plan to run it under windows.

Vista is windows :confused: :confused:

Infact .NET apps can ONLY be run on windows ;)

ok i only plan to run it under xp

Hi,
