Remarks
Layout groups (LayoutGroup objects) can be collapsed/expanded at run time using the collapse/expand buttton (see LayoutGroup.ExpandButtonVisible), or in code using the LayoutGroup.Expanded property. If the AllowExpandAnimation property is set to Default, the behavior is controlled by the WindowsFormsSettings.AnimationMode global setting. If the global setting is set to EnableAll, layout groups are expanded/collapsed using animation. Otherwise, the animation is disabled. Use the AllowExpandAnimation property to override the global setting, and explicitly specify whether to use animation. You can also customize the animation speed with the OptionsView.ExpandAnimationSpeed property.
