Omnis Studio Animation Object

[Brian Steerwood]

$sendall.$assign("Hi")

You may all know the problem, that Omnis Studio doesn't provide any functionality to animate objects e.g. slide in a menu, move a field, what so ever. Well, not any more :-)

Our first year apprentice Daniel developed a Class that allows you to do just that. All you need to do is create an instance of it and call it with just one line of code.

You can download the library from http://wigasoft.ch/support (and then go to "FileExchange").

The library is written for O$ 6 and has some basic and advanced examples on how to use the animation object. If there is demand on extending the features, we may gladly do you. Or please feel free to do it yourself and share your changes with others. We know a more decentralized exchange on e.g. GitHub would be better, but as we all know the library structure doesn't allow us to just create a fork of the code.

Atm. the Class can only move windows objects ($top, $left), but no other properties like $width, $height, $forecolor, $fontsize etc. This might be implemented later, but we'll see as soon as we gathered some practical experience with it.

Best regards
