I'm going to need some help here. Can you specifically describe which animation you mean? What are you trying to apply this animation to? Do you have some code you could provide?

To reverse it(maximize), just reverse the direction -

Private Sub TMR_Max_Tick(sender As Object, e As EventArgs) Handles TMR_Max.Tick
Dim RSV As Integer
RSV = "-" & PAN_PBAR.Size.Height
If PAN_PBAR.Top = 0 Then '1080 is the height of the control/form
TMR_Max.Enabled = False
PAN_PBAR.Location = New Point(0, 0)
Else
PAN_PBAR.Top -= 50 'this is how many pixels the control is moved per tick(adjust this and the timer interval to get the desired speed that you want)
End If
End Sub

If you have any more problems, I'll be glad to help.

You can use a timer and the control's .left/.right/.top/.bottom to animate the control's position.

VB

'Minimize Control
    Private Sub TMR_Min_Tick(sender As Object, e As EventArgs) Handles TMR_Min.Tick
        Dim RSV As Integer
        RSV = "-" & PAN_PBAR.Size.Height
        If PAN_PBAR.Top > 1080 Then '1080 is the height of the control/form
            TMR_Min.Enabled = False
            PAN_PBAR.Location = New Point(0, 1080)
        Else
            PAN_PBAR.Top += 50 'this is how many pixels the control is moved per tick(adjust this and the timer interval to get the desired speed that you want)
        End If
    End Sub

'Activate
Private Sub BTN_Min_Click(sender As Object, e As EventArgs) Handles BTN_Min.Click
TMR_Min.Enabled = True
End Sub
