Ok, my problem is I have a form with the 'FormBorderStyle' property set to 'none'.
So I made my own minimize/maximize/exit buttons, but the problem is when I click my minimize button, there is no animation when minimizing the form.
Is there any way I can have that minimize animation in my form now?
Nope. The window requires the frame to apply theme related stuff, one item of which is animation. There are ways to provide a minimal frame or make the frame and window one item if you're prepared to wrestle with a few potential inconsistencies and the Windows API.
thought so, what's even worse, when I click my program on the taskbar, if it's windowed, it won't minimize.
Instead of setting the border style to None set it to Fixed Single or Fixed Dialog. Make sure the Caption is an empty string and set the ControlBox property to False. It still wont animate but at least it will minimize when you click on the taskbar button.
