Hey Code Project,

I am trying to Flipping or Sliding Effect added with Winforrms.
So one effect, in which the first form is pushed out of the picture and a second is simultaneously pushed into it.
After some research I found out that the flipping effect with Winforms is not feasible.

I've already tried the following things:
1. Wpf Application Form with Windows Host
-> Windows Form host does not support animation
2. Increase or decrease the width of the Forms or the location
2.1 with Timer / a Do while loop
-> the form flickers when moving
3. The same with screenshots of the Forms
- flicker> again move in the screenshots
4. AnimateWindow Function (API)
-> With this API, you can not hide a window showing the same and the other display

Additional Information:
We use C # and Visual Studio 2010 (dotnet Framework 4.0)
We use 3rd party controls (Telerik)
On my form are some custom controls (Telerik Advanced Controls)
I've been everywhere double buffer set to True.
Have you got an idea or suggestions how I can hammer out a liquid Slide Effect?
MFG Viktor

While I am sure I am not in youre league, I will say that I found the use of xaml visual in the spinning 3D panel of this example

Thank you for the replies.

the Requirements have changes a little:

The sliding has to be in the Form.

This is relative easy, by changing the Control.left value.

Alternative to that I try to insert a Custom WPF Control in the Winform witch moves 2 Screenshots with an Animation.

I'll update you

Hey,

Here our final solution:

We decided to bring this issue to a third party who has more experience with graphics.

The best solution with our knowledge moving Pictureboxs with Screenshots and an Timer.
