Animating panels

[fatman]

Hi folks,

I would like to scroll a thin semi-transparent panel from the top of the screen to the bottom.

Definition is like that:
Dim line1 as panel
line1.Initialize("line1")
line1.Color = Colors.ARGB (90,160,160,160)
Activity.AddView(line1, 0%x, 250dip, 100%x, 10dip)

I know there are several libraries animating nearly everything. My question is: there is no other way (without additional libs) to scroll the panel?

Any ideas are appreciated!

You could do it with a Timer and change the Top property of line1.

Best regards.

Thank you very much Klaus!

Exactly what I´m looking for.
Had a glance in the wiki but did not realize that I can touch the position of the panel directly like that.

Thx! Fatman
