To compliment these it would nice to have the same option for the individual View positioning commands Left, Top, Width, Height. Code: Copy myView.SetLeftAnimated(Duration As Int,Position As Int) myView.SetTopAnimated(Duration As Int,Position As Int) myView.SetWidthAnimated(Duration As Int,Position As Int) myView.SetHeightAnimated(Duration As Int,Position As Int) It's just a passing thought really, which I had when rewriting my code. For example, right now, my code to moved views up an back down look like this: Code: Copy MyView.SetLayoutAnimated(AnimSpeed,MyView.Left,-MyView.Height,MyView.Width,MyView.Height) ' off screen ... MyView.SetLayoutAnimated(AnimSpeed,MyView.Left,10dip,MyView.Width,MyView.Height) ' back on screen With the new functions the amount of typing is reduced: Code: Copy MyView.SetTopAnimated(AnimSpeed,-MyView.Height) ' off screen ... MyView.SetTopAnimated(AnimSpeed,10dip) ' back on screen Granted its very easy for me to write subs to take care of this but it would be nice to have these has native animation options.
