Customizing the Grid's Appearance > Window Animation |
You can enhance the behavior of TDBGrid control's built-in combo box, the TDBDropDown control, and the CellTips window with animation properties.
For a TDBGrid control, the AnimateWindow property controls the style of animation when the user opens and closes its drop-down combo (either a built-in combo box or a separate TDBDropDown control). To enable animation, set the AnimateWindow property to a value other than 0 - NoAnimate.
The AnimateWindow property also controls the animation effects of the CellTips window when the AnimateWindow property has been set to a value other than 0 - No animation.
Use the AnimateWindowTime property to control the duration of the animation, the AnimateWindowDirection property to control the direction of the animation effect, and the AnimateWindowClose property for additional control over the behavior of the animation when closing the drop-down combo or cell tips.
Note: These properties have a system requirement of Windows 98 or NT 5.0, or higher.
