Property Value

Type	Default	Description
DefaultBoolean	Default	True, if layout groups are collapsed/expanded using animation; False if not. Default uses the WindowsFormsSettings.AnimationMode global setting.

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

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.
