AnimateWindow function; enables you to produce special effects when showing or hiding windows. There are four types of animation: roll, slide, collapse or expand, and alpha-blended fade.
Syntax:
AnimateWindow,hWnd,dwTime,dwFlags
Example:
invoke AnimateWindow,hWin,600,AW_HIDE or AW_SLIDE or AW_HOR_POSITIVE
Parameters:
hwnd ; Type: HWND
A handle to the window to animate. The calling thread must own this window.
dwTime ; Type: DWORD
The time it takes to play the animation, in milliseconds. Typically, an animation takes 200 milliseconds to play.
dwFlags ; Type: DWORD
The type of animation. This parameter can be one or more of the following values. Note that, by default, these flags take effect when showing a window. To take effect when hiding a window, use AW_HIDE and a logical OR operator with the appropriate flags.
About RadioButtons:
In the sample code there are 2 groups of RadioButtons. One is for opening and the other is for closing.
1. Make the ID's of radiobuttons in sequence. It is important while making groups.
2. Make Tab content in sequence(right click to the dialog on RadASM)
3. While editing the dialog on RadASM there is a properties section on the right. Select the head of the radiobuttons group and make its "Group" propertie "True". (Examine the sample codes)
I have prepared a sample code for this function. I have attached it here.
If there are mistakes or bugs, anybody can involve and fix. I will be happy if he/she informs me.
Sorry for bad english!
Regards
