creating funky forms 9

[SpectacledBear]

as well as flashing labels, what else can you do to funkify a form? I need to impress, promotion is on the line!

 

[PHV]

If WinXP:
Set vo = CreateObject("SAPI.SpVoice")
vo.Speak "my boss is the best"

Hope This Helps, PH.

How about some animation? See thread702-1015978

 

[ZmrAbdulla]

How about Stephan Leban's Animate Form?
And Candace-Tripp Wipe/Move/Resize Effects for Forms?

I would like to throw a bouquet of roses to PHV and ZmrAbdulla for sharing their information. Very cool stuff. But, instead of the roses, here's a star.

 

[SpectacledBear]

can i placer the Set vo = CreateObject("SAPI.SpVoice")
vo.Speak "my boss is the best" code anywhere?

 

[PHV]

In the Load event procedure of your form or in the Click event procedure of a button or ... where you want.

How about playing a tune:

  Dim song As Object
  
  Set song = CreateObject("MediaPlayer.MediaPlayer")
  song.Open "C:\WeAreTheChampions.mp3"

[SpectacledBear]

could I at all change the buttons to that they are more fun? or could I make the screen shake? or have an animated icon on the screen? this would be cool!

 

[MichaelRed]

Shake? Yes. Somewhere in htese fora there already exists a routine to simulate an earthquake. I think I remember it being based on the MoveSize function, so start with a search based on that.

[FancyPrairie]

Stephan Leban's Animate Form? that ZmrAbdulla suggested contains an option to shake the form.

 

[ZmrAbdulla]

There are samples in VB6 with PSCode that melt the screen. (you will defenitely get scared about your computer) here are the links incase anyone has VB6 and able to convert into Access VBA
A++ Melt Screen

GOTO!!! this code makes any picture melt away !!!

How about a CIRCULAR Form?

 

[traingamer]

Google: access creating circular form

I found a couple of examples, although none of them were exactly the same as one I stumbled on some years ago (never used it, though).
