'If you want to try this code in action:
' make a new project and add a module
'double click on the form and add the following code:
Private Sub Form_Load()
 Form1.Height = 6400
 Form1.Width = 10000
End Sub
Private Sub Form_MouseUp(Button As Integer, Shift As Integer, X As Single, Y As Single)
 If Button = vbRightButton Then
 coolCloseForm Me, 20
 Else
 Dim a As New Form1
 a.Height = a.Height / 2
 a.Width = a.Width / 2
 a.Show
 End If
End Sub
'Then add the coolCloseForm code to the module
'Now run the program, left click a few times to add new forms to screen, and then right click on them to make them go away.
'END OF EXAMPLE CODE

'ALL CODE BELOW TO THE BOTTOM IS THE ACTUAL MODULE CODE, ABOVE CODE IS ALL OPTIONAL!!
