It's like a round who grows and take the shape of the final object

Is this for a normal form or a borderless from?

The easiest method would probably be a transparent borderless from with the shapes drawn on top of it. The shape parameters can be adjusted with a timer so you get what you want.

than easier way could be to set the opacity for the form at start to 0 then use a timer which stops when it gets to 100, then use this loop to increase the height and width.

Classic. But he wanted a "round" shaped animation.

 

 

EDIT: actually that can contribute to my method I see what you were getting at.

yeah not sure about the corners but a timer set to go off every 500ms (you'll have to play with it) can make the form fade in and resize quite nicely. I assume you are using visual basic?

I've done fades in and out countess times, that's the easy part 500ms will make it look laggy, 100ms at max.

Its in the title, the guy wants it in VB.

I've moved on to C# for a while now but remember some stuff.
