Transitions

This month Well Formed continues the series on image transitions and adds four more to the set.
You'll see the Slide, Iris, Spin and Blinds transitions in action.


A few of the transition effects available.

Layered Windows

Learn how to use the layered window API to create controls and applications such as the popup HandyClock.
A tiny clock control displays this overlay window for a few seconds when you float your mouse over it.
The clock doesn't take up any space until you need it and it puts itself away when you're done.

HandyClock: A LayeredWindow control with transparency and alpha-blending.

Snap-To-Grid

People often try to implement snap-to-grid functionality in controls. Learn how a simple base-class can give any of
your derived controls the ability to snap to any size of grid.

Snap to-it!
