[VB 2005] Slide In/Out Side Menu

[knxrb]

I've created a slide in slide out menu for an application. This one comes from left of screen. If you want the menu on the right then changes the '.width 'for '.left' and change the '+' and '-' signs.

You need:
Panel - name: pnlmenu - dock: left - width: 20
Timer - name: timhover - interval: 1
Timer - name: timhover2 - interval: 1

Private Sub timhover_Tick(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles timhover.Tick
        If pnlmenu.Width < 150 Then
            pnlmenu.Width = pnlmenu.Width + 8
        ElseIf pnlmenu.Width = 150 Then
            timhover.Enabled = False
        End If
    End Sub

    Private Sub pnlmenu_MouseHover(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles pnlmenu.MouseHover
        timhover.Enabled = True
    End Sub

    Private Sub pnlmenu_MouseLeave(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles pnlmenu.MouseLeave
        timhover.Enabled = False
        timhover2.enabled = True
    End Sub

    Private Sub timhover2_Tick(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles timhover2.Tick
        If pnlmenu.Width > 20 Then
            pnlmenu.Width = pnlmenu.Width - 8
        ElseIf pnlmenu.Width = 20 Then
            timhover2.Enabled = False
        End If
    End Sub

Hope It Helps

Hello, thank you for this awesome slider! It's nasty!
But I have a question, if you hover the mouse over a button for example within the panel, the timer loses focus and the panel slides back into the ordinary width, what's the solution for this?

Hi mac, this is pretty old now :P
I'll write a smoother and better one and post that here soon
