Attention Seeking Database: Part 2 - Animation & Background Effects

This is the second in a series of four videos showing many different ways of getting users' attention. In this video, various form effects are demonstrated including animation, transparency, fade and rounded corners. The video also shows how the background can be dimmed, blurred or removed completely so that users focus on the message or form in the foreground. All features are included in my free Attention Seeking example database which is available from https://isladogs.co.uk/attention-seek/ TIMES: 0:00 Introduction 0:54 Example database 1:18 Main form fades out 1:23 Login form with transparency 1:32 Form design view 1:47 Animated form with transparency 3:08 Another animated form - grows / changes colour & corners rounded 3:53 Circular form 4:17 Transparency - VBA code (APIs) 5:03 Animation - VBA code explained (timer event) 5:25 Drag form using mouse move event 5:48 VBA code for colour changes - on timer event 6:50 VBA code for grow form - on timer event 7:05 VBA code for rounded corners (APIs) 7:40 VBA code for circular form (APIs) 8:10 Dim background examples 8:48 VBA code for dim background effect 9:14 Blur background - uses blurred image 9:45 Remove background - uses plain blue form to cover entire screen 10:31 Web page for Attention Seeking database: https://isladogs.co.uk/attention-seek/ 10:40 Thanks for watching
