Nice animations in CF...

[Carsten Marx]

Hello,
now my visual seeking system project for a library is concluded.
Thanks for all the help...

I've some questions about nice animations on a pocket pc..
Are there frameworks for this available?
I need functions like animate this textfield to another position or
rotate a panel on the screen....
Any ideas or hints?

Regards
Carsten Marx

The first thing you might want to try is create a Timer and every time the
timer expires you move your textfield slightly. If the contents you want to
animate are more complex or if you have a lot of data to move , you might
want to take a look at this article:
http://msdn.microsoft.com/library/en-us/dnnetcomp/html/netcfgaming.asp.
Particulary the off screen bitmap technique section of the article, in which
you draw your data on a bitmap and then copy the entire bitmap on the
screen, again using a Timer.

I ran this code on WinCE. There is nothing much happening on the screen,
isn't it? :>
