Simple animation and stuff...

Can someone point me to some good info on how to do somoe simple animation on a form.

Specifically, I want to have some tiles that when they are clicked, they flip over in place and reveal a number. Obviously the flipping part should be animated and the user interface should not have to wait for the tile animation to complete before another tile can be selected.

Thanks.

Hi,

Animation is made by looping through a sequent of static pictures. If you'd
like animation in your WinForms application, you could either use an
animated GIF directly or draw a sequent of static pictures,e.g on a
PictureBox, by yourself.

I found a sample of drawing a sequent fo static picutures to make
animation. You may visit the following link to get more information:

Hope this helps.
If you have any question, please feel free to let me know.

A MUCH easier solution here would be to use WPF to create the 3D model,
and then animate the model on a timeline when the animation is clicked.
This could be hosted in a Windows Forms app easily as well.

It's much easer to just create the model and animate it as opposed to
creating the model and writing the engine that has to animate it.

The main issue with this is that the end user has to have the 3.0 Framework,
correct? I'm already worried that not enough people will have the 2.0
Framework.
