Hi,
Does anybody know how to turn off the animation Windows does with a window
as it's minimized/maximized to the taskbar?
I have an app which, when minimized, syncs to any other open instances of
the app and tells them to minimize. If I have more than a couple instances
open, the user ends up waiting quite a while for all of windows to minimize,
since each minimizing animation is done consecutively and not in parallel.
I would rather have the window disappear immediately.
TIA,
Norvin

As far as I know, it can only be specified at the system level for all
windows, but by each app individually.
What you can do is intercept the minimize event, and hide the window
instead, placing an icon in the notification area.

Hi James,
thanks for the reply. So when I call a form's .Hide() method, it also
disappears from the taskbar. How do I go about keep it visible in the
taksbar? (Is this what you meant by "placing an icon in the notification
area"?)
TIA,
Norvin

The notification area is the spot by the clock (which probably already
has a bunch of icons), which is sometime (wrongly) referred to as the
"system tray"

hi...
I've recently created a dhtml thing on http://www.shapers.nl/ that
animates a lot of images. The thing I want to solve is the lag that
occurs when a new animation is initiated.
To make it time-based I calculate the entire animation on beforehand
and create numerous setTimeOuts in a repeat loop (it's the loop that
creates the lag).
Creating an animation like this has some more disadvantages:

Hello,
I'm new to c# and have created an animation which draws directly
to the window, it uses the code below which all works. I would
like to know if this is the 'correct' way to do it - or would an
experienced c# programmer do it another way?
This part defines the screen and the graphics pad I'm drawing to:
Graphics screen = CreateGraphics();
Graphics drawpadg = Graphics.FromImage(drawpad);

Take a look at this new JS function I made. It is really simple but
very powerful. You can animate any stylesheet numeric value (top left
width height have been tested), and works for both % and px values.
Works in both ie and firefox.
Parameters
styleType = top | left | width | height
toNumber = the new value of the style
then you pass in as many ids as you would like.

In WPF (even with considerable improvement in version 3.5), while running
multiple animations in a single window, The performance of one animation
suffers a lot.
for example, i have two image transitions on two independent Canvases on a
Grid.
1. is simple, slide transformation running, continously from left to right
with multiple images.
2. 3D transitions over multiple images.

As part of familiarizing myself with the Win32 API, I wrote a simple animation program in C. The program has a struct for each bitmap, holding information such as its location, visibility, mask (for transparency), etc. Then I have a separate thread running that has a WHILE loop that looks like this:
WHILE (TRUE)
{
/* update all structs (bitmap locations, etc) */
SleepEx(iSpeed, FALSE);
InvalidateRect(hwnd, lpRect, TRUE);
}

I am unable to find appropriate documentation on the type promotion of bit-fields when using the generalised comparison operator "<=>".
The problem is that using the GNU compilers, it seems that the internal comparison operator "<=>" tries to promote arguments from unsigned to signed.
