How to move form on screen programmatically with animated effect?

I think the simplest way to do what you want to do is to use the% WinFormAnimation .

To install, just use the following command the library :

  

Install-Package WinFormAnimation

Once you've done this, just use the following code:

private void button1_Click(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
    new Animator2D(new Path2D(new Float2D(-100, -100), this.Location.ToFloat2D(), 500))
        .Play(this, Animator2D.KnownProperties.Location);
}

Where Package Manager Console is this current, but you can change to any element (other Form , button, text, etc).

For more details, look at official documentation .

In the same question that the @GuilhermeNascimento posted, has this example which can also help you.

If I understand you want an animated effect when the element is moved, I found this response link

Create / declare the following class:

using System;
using System.ComponentModel;
using System.Windows.Forms;
using System.Runtime.InteropServices;

public static class Util {
    public enum Effect { Roll, Slide, Center, Blend }

    public static void Animate(Control ctl, Effect effect, int msec, int angle) {
        int flags = effmap[(int)effect];
        if (ctl.Visible) { flags |= 0x10000; angle += 180; }
        else {
            if (ctl.TopLevelControl == ctl) flags |= 0x20000; 
            else if (effect == Effect.Blend) throw new ArgumentException();
        }
        flags |= dirmap[(angle % 360) / 45];
        bool ok = AnimateWindow(ctl.Handle, msec, flags);
        if (!ok) throw new Exception("Animation failed");
        ctl.Visible = !ctl.Visible;
    }

    private static int[] dirmap = { 1, 5, 4, 6, 2, 10, 8, 9 };
    private static int[] effmap = { 0, 0x40000, 0x10, 0x80000 };

    [DllImport("user32.dll")]
    private static extern bool AnimateWindow(IntPtr handle, int msec, int flags);
}

And to use it do something like:

private void button2_Click(object sender, EventArgs e) {
    Util.Animate(form1, Util.Effect.Slide, 150, 180);
}
