For a TDBCombo control, this property controls the style of animation when the user opens or closes the drop-down list. It is only meaningful when the ComboStyle property is set to 0 - Dropdown Combo or 1 - Simple Combo.
For a TDBCombo or TDBList control, this 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 combo drop-down or combo and list cell tips.
The allowable values for this property are as follows:
If set to 0 - No animation (the default), there will be no animation effect.
If set to 1 - Roll, the object will paint up or down (depending on the AnimateWindowDirection property setting) from the first line.
If set to 2 - Slide, the object will open with an action like a window shade.
If set to 3 - Blend, the object will open and close by fading in and out. (NT 5.0 only)
Note: System requirements: Windows 98 or NT 5.0, or higher. The setting 3 - Blend is not available in Windows 98.
