The hint controller component provides animation effects. For example, the hint frame can slide from left to right, from top to bottom or fade in. Such effects can add a unique feel to your applications. However, you may wish to make animation effects optional, since users may find them tiresome after a while.

cxhaSlideFromRight	The hint window slides from right to left.
cxhaSlideDownward	The hint window slides from top to bottom.
cxhaSlideUpward	The hint window slides from bottom to top.
cxhaFromCenter	The hint window slides from the center to the edges.
cxhaHide	Reserved.
cxhaActivate	Reserved.
cxhaFadeIn	The hint window fades in.
cxhaAuto	Hint window appears using the default animation effect.
cxhaNone	No animation effect, the entire hint is displayed immediately.

The speed of animation effects can be controlled using the AnimationDelay property.

The default value of the Animate property is cxhaAuto.
