Hey,

I am creating a project that has inherited forms on one form. As I can show inherited forms with (formname).show, I want to show the form without an effect (as the show effect in windows usually consist of immediate expansion and then shows controls and I want to show a form without a show effect). Is there a way to do this?

Help is appreciated :)

Override the .Show() method and use any effect you want

Hey, How would I override the .show() Method? Protected Overrides doesnt have the function :/. That would be a great chance for adding smooth animations in my program. :)

Are you going between forms ? The easiest way to do this, is to create your forms as controls and show them one at a time, so you don't get the effect that Windows does on a new form, b/c the form never changes.

Hey, that idea is great! I considered it before, but it may require a bit of effort. I was looking for an expansion of ease, but looks like that wont be anywhere anytime soon. Lol. Thanks :)
