Property Value

Type	Default	Description
DefaultBoolean	Default	A DefaultBoolean enumerator value that specifies whether or not this WidgetView‘s content should be displayed with a light animation when displayed.

Available values:

Name	Description
True	true. DefaultBoolean.True has a constant value of 0, while the standard true value corresponds to a value of 1. In Visual Basic, do not use implicit conversion of Boolean values to DefaultBoolean, and vice versa, as the conversion may produce incorrect results.
False	false. DefaultBoolean.False has a constant value of 1, while the standard false value corresponds to a value of 0. In Visual Basic, do not use implicit conversion of Boolean values to DefaultBoolean, and vice versa, as the conversion may produce incorrect results.
Default	The default behavior determined by the control’s logic.

Remarks

The animation below illustrates the start-up widget animation slowed down by 50 percent.

If the AllowStartupAnimation property is set to Default, the behavior is controlled by the WindowsFormsSettings.AnimationMode global setting. If the global setting is set to Default or EnableAll, the animation is enabled. Otherwise, the animation is disabled. Use the AllowStartupAnimation property to override the global setting, and explicitly specify whether to use the start-up widget animation.
