SlidePanel

[Cableguy]

Hi guys....

This is still in its earlier stages, but I decided to release my work so far, to grt some input from you guys...

This is a Slider Panel, that can be set to eithr of the 4 sides of the form...
It constructor is as simples as I could get it to be...

new1(FormName, Width, Height, Color, DockSide, Leap, VisibleTime)

FormName- The form to wich the SliderPanel will be added
Width - The Width of the Panel
Height - The Height of the Panel
Color - The Color of the Panel
DockSide - The Side os the form the SliderPanel will Dock to, It is a string with one of the four sides: Left-Top,Bottom or Right
Leap - The amount of pixels the Panel will move wach tick of the timer, wich is set to 50ms
VisibleTime - The time in ms the SliderPanel stays visible

A few more props and methos will be added, such as the ability to add exterior controls to it
I dont see the need to make any events public.

The button this dll uses as its trigger is an fgGradientButtonsDesktop so this makes this a desktop only dll, but, I may dispose of the button and go with x=0 cursor position triggering...

I'de like to ear from you guys....

The Slide panel does nothing else, by now, than the sliding action...
I will bea dding some new features, as the abilityl of addid other controls to it, but I need some feed back as what would be usefull...
The demo, would be only one line long....the constructor...nothing else is needed...
except for the presence of fgGradientButtons on the source folder....
