Starting with a Container off-screen, or whose Visible property is True, this snippet will hide it, move it in to place, then fade it in for a really nice effect. ``` Dim animContainer As GraffitiAnimatorObject = GraffitiAnimator1.NewAnimatedObject( ContainerControl1 )._ Fade( GraffitiAnimator.EffectOperation.Hide, 1 )._ Position( 100, 100, 1 )._ Fade( GraffitiAnimator.EffectOperation.Show, 1000 ) ```
