Restore from tray speed

[Miliardsto]

Hello. How to make GUI restore from tray with slower speed or effect?

[careca]

From tray? how are you doing it now?

[Miliardsto]

Im taking about tray icon - when u minimize program it goes to tray. then if u click for tray icon of program it will be restored to screen

[careca]

I understand, but still, what code do you have? or is it another application? If it's your own code it's one thing,

if it's a different application (not autoit) i don't know how to help.

[Miliardsto]

I got this

And there is defined metro gui which one has that effects slower appearing from tray when its restored.

And I got second child gui inside this metro gui.

When I restore from tray my program, child gui appear first and this metro gui appear with slower like fade effects xd

I can delete this effect in this UDF but i cant find where is it or make faster child gui appearing

[careca]

How is the child gui hiding? is it just the sw_hide flag, or does it go away by means of winmove? This is why it's important to see the code, you can clear the contents and leave only the show/hide part for the gui, so we can test. But so it seems you have a parent and a child gui on at the same time, why? why not making the child only come up when you need?

[Miliardsto]

look what is going on

there is udf metro and child gui on metro gui. minimalize it to tray and restore then white gui and black gui and u will see difference

From what i see, you don't even have a tray icon, and the window never minimizes to tray, but instead, it goes to and from the taskbar.

Im not sure how i can help with this, i go the same issue as you described, the white rectangle appears before the main window.

Maybe you can delay it's appearance, or maybe someone else has a better idea.

yes yes

i'm not clear with all what the Op is describing and couldn't run his script

Maybe _WinAPI_DrawAnimatedRects ?
have the effect drawn from point\anywhere to point\anywhere

2 gui, the parent has a small effect/animation when min-restoring. The shild has a flag that attaches itself to the parent so both move when you drag parent.

Problem is qhen you restore the child appears first, nodelay or animation. i guess the op wants to delay it a bit, so it shows with parent, not before it.

download and run the example. https://mega.nz/#!O4sCBRAK!lOQc5XGgUCZljRjpWycEI7eJa_NSGBRT1liv_7_Qejg

have u changed here something in code? Cause i Dont see effect changed

[careca]

No need to quote me from the previous post..

No, no change, it wasn't for you, it was to respond to Deye.

I can't help you with this, in fact i don't really understand why you need 2 gui's positioned like that, but whatever.
