sliding panel

[piter]

Hi
I saw C# application that had sliding panel.. I want my panel to slide in up
direction.
Is there an efficient way to do this?
I thought that i can use Timer and change height , but iam not sure if this
would be an efficient and common way.
Thanks

PK,

That's really the only way you can do it using Windows Forms. You have
to set up a timer and then adjust the control on timed intervals.

With Windows Presentation Foundation, you can use an animation timeline,
but if your project isn't WPF to begin with, it might be too much to
integrate for the one control.

Hope this helps.

I also thought that i can create second form and use API to slide it. Then
this form should be somehow embedded in main form.

No, that's not going to work. Having a form embedded in another form
isn't really the way to go about it. You should stick with the timer and
the panel.
