You can enhance the behavior of the TDBCombo dropdown list and the CellTips window with animation properties.
For a TDBCombo control, the AnimateWindow property controls the style of animation when the user opens or closes the dropdown list. It is only meaningful when the ComboStyle property is set to 0 - Dropdown Combo or 1 - Simple.
The allowable values for this property are as follows:
0 - No Animate (default)
1 - Roll
2 - Slide
3 - Blend
For a TDBCombo or TDBList control, 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 combo dropdown or combo and list cell tips.

Note: These properties have a system requirement of Windows 98 or NT 5.0, or higher. |
