this is a wrapper around the AnimateWindow API. this allows random animations in a dialog. I just call it in the dialog's OnInitDialog() handler. The 'fade' effect has not been implemented because I didn't like the idea of having to call RedrawWindow or something like that because sometimes the borders aren't drawn right for controls when you use that flag.
AnimateDialog
void AnimateDialog(HWND hWnd)
{
DWORD dwTemp2,dwTemp,dwAnimate = AW_ACTIVATE;
int nFirst,nSecond;
//seed randomNumber Generator
srand( (unsigned)time( NULL ) );
nFirst = rand() % 3 + 1;
switch(nFirst)
{
case 1:
dwTemp = AW_SLIDE;
break;
case 2:
//removed because it was AW_BLEND which doesn't seem to repaint controls correctly
case 3:
dwTemp = AW_CENTER;
break;
}
dwAnimate |= dwTemp;
//these next values will only work with AW_SLIDE
if(nFirst == 1)
{
srand( (unsigned)time( NULL ) );
nSecond = rand() % 4 + 1;
switch(nSecond)
{
case 1:
dwTemp2 = AW_HOR_POSITIVE ;
break;
case 2:
dwTemp2 = AW_HOR_NEGATIVE;
break;
case 3:
dwTemp2 = AW_VER_POSITIVE;
break;
default:
dwTemp2 = AW_VER_NEGATIVE;
}
dwAnimate |= dwTemp2;
srand( (unsigned)time( NULL ) );
nSecond = rand() % 2;
if(dwTemp2 == AW_VER_POSITIVE || dwTemp2 == AW_VER_NEGATIVE)
{
dwTemp2 = 0;
switch(nSecond)
{
case 1: dwTemp2 = AW_HOR_POSITIVE; break;
case 2: dwTemp2 = AW_HOR_NEGATIVE; break;
}
dwAnimate |= dwTemp2;
}//if(dwTemp2 == AW_VER_POSITIVE || dwTemp2 == AW_VER_NEGATIVE)
else
{
dwTemp2 = 0;
switch(nSecond)
{
case 1: dwTemp2 = AW_VER_POSITIVE; break;
case 2: dwTemp2 = AW_VER_NEGATIVE; break;
}
dwAnimate |= dwTemp2;
}
}//if(nFirst == 1)
::AnimateWindow(hWnd,200,dwAnimate);
}
