You no need to create your own instead you can do it with menustrip also

you have to use threading for that

may this code useful to you

C#

private void Form1_MouseMove(object sender, MouseEventArgs e)
       {
            if (e.y < 40)
            {
                this.BeginInvoke((ThreadStart)delegate()
                {
                    MenuShow();

                });
            }
            else if (e.y > 100)
            {

                this.BeginInvoke((ThreadStart)delegate()
                {
                    MenuHide();

                });

            }
        }

        private void MenuShow()
        {
            while (menuStrip1.Top != 0)
            {

                menuStrip1.Top++;
                Thread.Sleep(10);
                menuStrip1.Update();
            }
        }

        private void MenuHide()
        {
            while (menuStrip1.Top != -25)
            {
                menuStrip1.Top--;
                Thread.Sleep(10);
            }
        }

well done khaniya but you forget somthing something ,you must change
a little this code :

private void Form1_MouseMove(object sender, MouseEventArgs e)
       {


           if (e.Y > 40)
           {
               this.BeginInvoke((ThreadStart)delegate()
               {
                   MenuShow();

               });
           }
           else if (e.Y < 100)
           {

               this.BeginInvoke((ThreadStart)delegate()
               {
                   MenuHide();

               });

           }
       }
