I just quickly improved this screen wipe function written by Jesse Foster.
It runs a bit smoother and is usable as a function for any form. Just drop it into a module. Also, I made it work so that it is 'public' not private.
Inputs
'Screenwipe form to wipe, speed
'example: screenwipe form1,100
VBcodersPublic Function screenWipe(Form As Form, CutSpeed As Integer) As Boolean
Dim OldWidth As Integer
Dim OldHeight As Integer
Form.WindowState = 0
If CutSpeed <= 0 Then
MsgBox "You cannot use 0 as a speed value"
Exit Function
End If
Do
OldWidth = Form.Width
Form.Width = Form.Width - CutSpeed
DoEvents
If Form.Width <> OldWidth Then
Form.Left = Form.Left + CutSpeed / 2
DoEvents
End If
OldHeight = Form.Height
Form.Height = Form.Height - CutSpeed
DoEvents
If Form.Height <> OldHeight Then
Form.Top = Form.Top + CutSpeed / 2
DoEvents
End If
Loop While Form.Width <> OldWidth Or Form.Height <> OldHeight
Unload Form
End Function
