For the first part of the question, DrawAnimatedRects. See also http://www.codeproject.com/gdi/drawanimated.asp[^]. Obviously you'll have to use a P/Invoke declaration. Here's some code I cooked up:
[StructLayout(LayoutKind.Sequential)]
private struct RECT
{
   int left;
   int top;
   int right;
   int bottom;
 
   public static RECT FromLTRB( int l, int t, int r, int b )
   {
      RECT rc = new RECT();
 
      rc.left   = l;
      rc.top    = t;
      rc.right  = r;
      rc.bottom = b;
 
      return rc;
   }
 
   public static RECT FromRectangle( Rectangle r )
   {
      return FromLTRB( r.Left, r.Top, r.Right, r.Bottom );
   }
}
 
private const int IDANI_CAPTION = 3;
 
// Thanks to www.pinvoke.net
[DllImport("user32.dll")]
private static extern bool DrawAnimatedRects( HandleRef hwnd, int idAni,
   [In] ref RECT lprcFrom, [In] ref RECT lprcTo);
 
private void OnClosing(object sender, System.ComponentModel.CancelEventArgs e)
{
   if ( exiting )
      return;
 
   e.Cancel = true;
 
   // Do the animation
   // Aim for a 16x16 box in the corner - we can't easily work out exactly where we'll be
   Rectangle boundsRect = Screen.PrimaryScreen.Bounds;
   RECT rcFrom = RECT.FromRectangle( Bounds );
    
   RECT rcTo = 
      RECT.FromLTRB( 
         boundsRect.Right - 16,
         boundsRect.Bottom - 16,
         boundsRect.Right,
         boundsRect.Bottom );
 
   DrawAnimatedRects( new HandleRef( this, Handle ), IDANI_CAPTION, ref rcFrom, ref rcTo );
 
   // Hide the form
   Visible = false;
}

private void OnNotifyIconClick(object sender, System.EventArgs e)
{
   if ( Visible )
      return;
 
   // Animate back to our normal position
   // Aim for a 16x16 box in the corner - we can't easily work out exactly where we'll be
   Rectangle boundsRect = Screen.PrimaryScreen.Bounds;
   RECT rcTo = RECT.FromRectangle( Bounds );
   RECT rcFrom = 
      RECT.FromLTRB( 
         boundsRect.Right - 16,
         boundsRect.Bottom - 16,
         boundsRect.Right,
         boundsRect.Bottom );
 
   DrawAnimatedRects( new HandleRef( this, Handle ), IDANI_CAPTION, ref rcFrom, ref rcTo );
 
   // and show
   Visible = true;
}
 
private void exit_Click(object sender, System.EventArgs e)
{
   exiting = true;
   Close();
}
 
private bool exiting;
If you wanted to be really keen, you could try to find out where the task bar actually is, rather than just assuming the bottom of the primary screen as I've done here. See http://vbnet.mvps.org/index.html?code/screen/shappbarmessage.htm[^].

Stability. What an interesting concept. -- Chris Maunder
