This is a new Idea form animation I did yesterday.The effect is more professional than many others.The 'New' is that the function can automatically detect the 'Controll's position which calls the 'Form Load' the form orginates from that controll itself. The code is not so huge and the animation runs smoothly. One More - when you exicute the compiled exe, it orginates from 'it's own Icon'. You can also select the animation color. Hope you all like it. Its upto you to Vote for this code.Enjoy!.

Good fixes - only addition to your demo would be the ability to set the speed on the main form for easier testing. 5 Orbs! (If this comment was disrespectful, please report it.)
Pretty decent... The rectangles which simulate the form growing should be filled with the forms BackColor.... thatd look nice. (If this comment was disrespectful, please report it.)
That is very cool. I actually quite like the transparent rectangles when opening/closing the form. I've seen a similar effect somewhere else but can't recall where - mac? I agree with the suggestion to allow manual setting of the animation speed. Thanks for sharing. (If this comment was disrespectful, please report it.)

Ta mta Fixe... (If this comment was disrespectful, please report it.)
If you select and "click" a button using the tab key and space bar, the form opens from the mouse location, not the selected command button. Other that that, it very good. Five globes from me. (If this comment was disrespectful, please report it.)
