Question Form Slides in and out

[sc247]

Hello,

Please could someone help me with making a form slide in and out from the edge when the mouse is over the form 'tab' ?

would it be the mousehover event ?

And I've tried using the animatewindow api but not getting too far !

Thank you !

Have you tried a timer with the tick event telling the form to grow the width 1 pixel at a time til the form reaches a certain size, and I would use the mouse enter event and then the mouse leave to return it to a prior position. Try playing with that. Use the interval to slow or speed up the opening/closing.

And which form should the code for the timer and tick event be in?

The timer would be on the base form not the form sliding in/out

Sorry, and the mouse over event for the form doing the sliding ? (on which form)

That would also be the base form and not the sliding form.
