Animation about vd.ahk HOT 10 OPEN

there is no api, from the repos I "copy" code from, that enables animation

because there's only animation when you switch to adjacent virtual desktop, there is no loss of functionality if you do:
Send % "^#{right}"
Send % "^#{left}"

I don't know what this does, but it seems too short to simulate the animation

update:
Grabacr07/VirtualDesktop#23 (comment)
I just compiled this and it works, seamlessly too

there is no loss of functionality

I stand corrected : even if you jump 2 virtual desktops, it uses 1 animation, I expected there to be no animation

from vd.ahk.

With the latest version is there any way to remove the animation? I liked it much better when it was instant with no animation at all.

Luckily the old version I have is still working for me, I wanted to upgrade but won't if I have to use the animation on change.

I think if it is still possible to do the switch with no animation, can you add a class parameter (or something) we can set to choose instant or animation maybe?

Thank you.

It is possible to add the no-animation way back, but you can disable animations in windows appearance settings, is there a downside to that ?

from vd.ahk.

I tried adding the no-animation back in as a different function, but it no longer worked. I kind of like the animation when using Windows hotkeys to go to next/previous. But I want if I use a Hotkey with this library, it goes automatically with no animation.

I'll just keep trying to work out the code of adding it back in myself.

Thank you.

I see: animation for windows builtin hotkeys, no-animation for ahk custom hotkeys

I'm gonna add it like this:
VD.animation_on:=false
Any improvements/ideas on this before I add it ?

from vd.ahk.

This flag/boolean should be useless in windows 11 since even builtin hotkeys don't have animation

I can't think of any other improvements over that.

Thank you very much for working on this, and so quickly too!

I appreciate it.

this is wrong information, windows 11 has an animation too, I don't know what I was thinking

from vd.ahk.

an early version of windows 11 had no animation at all
for later versions of windows 11, we can use SwitchDesktopWithAnimation(IVirtualDesktop) for animation
for windows 10, we can use SetForegroundWindow(HWND) for animation, where the HWND is located in the target VD

the SetForegroundWindow(HWND) method switches correctly but doesn't provide an animation in windows 11, that's why SwitchDesktopWithAnimation(IVirtualDesktop) is needed for windows 11

in all versions of windows, SwitchDesktop(IVirtualDesktop) has no animation

@TWF1212
well, here it is, sorry for the long wait
please report additional bugs that may occur when using VD.animation_on:=false
