Provides access to an Animation/Activity Indicator UI element on the form.

Declaration

function Animation(const AName: string = ''): TAnimation;

Parameters

Name	Type	Description
AName	string	Optional. Specifies the target Animation/Activity Indicator UI element name. If you omit the AName parameter, the function returns the default/predefined Animation/Activity Indicator UI element (if the form contains such a content item).

Returns

Type	Description
TdxSplashFormBase.TAnimation	Returns the Animation/Activity Indicator UI element with the name passed as the AName parameter (or the default Animation/Activity Indicator UI element if the optional parameter is omitted). If no UI element is found, an exception occurs.

Remarks

TdxSplashFormBase.TAnimation displays a looped animation, similar to the TdxActivityIndicator control.

Call the Animation function to access an Animation/Activity Indicator UI element and modify its settings.

Note

The target UI element must be defined within the current form. Otherwise, an Animation function call raises an exception.
