The Motivation
I required a fade/slide effect to replace a previous thread based approach that was using deprecated methods.
When consulting the oracle (Google), I was able to find more than a few articles that use opacity or utility type implementation of the AnimateWindow function, but I was looking for a solution to hide the functionality and keep things as simple as possible, so I created FadeForm.
The Objective
Write a class that implements/wraps the AnimateWindow function which can easily be added to existing code.
The Code
The FadePage Object
Create a new class that derives from System.Windows.Forms.Form which will allow us to extend the behavior of a standard form with the AnimateWindow method.
