Was trolling thru the MS development SDK over the Thanksgiving holiday looking for an API to play with and settled on the AnimateWindow function. Here are 8 different examples using AnimateWindow with a simple resource dialog. One thing I discovered is that this API does not work very well when in Vista Aero mode. I prefer Vista Basic mode so no problems there. Still pretty cool what you can do with the different animation flags used with this API. I've used them in a few different combinations but there are other ways to use them. I'll let you explore what else can be achieved with the AnimateWindow API animation flags. :bg

Nice examples :U
I'm glad most people don't use those - makes me feel like I'm in a Powerpoint presentation :bg
Thanks Vortex. :bg
zooba,
Now that you mention it the examples do make one think of pp presentations. (http://www.quickersoft.com/gigglesmile.gif)
Was fun playing with though.
Yeah, I'd made use of AnimateWindow some time ago, randomizing its parameters so that random efects were used. Then I tested in on Vista Aero. Let's just say I wasn't very pleased with the result.
Oh wow, I remember doing this in delphi. Now its cool to know how to use it in assembly. Thanks for the examples. Awesome!
