TBaseVirtualTree.DoGetAnimationType Method

Determines the type of animation to be used.

function DoGetAnimationType: THintAnimationType; virtual;

Windows 98 and Windows 2000 introduced two ways of animating hints when they appear: a sliding window and a fading window. Virtual Treeview implements both animation types and also supports system dependent animations. This allows to use the animation type enabled in the particular system on which the tree currently runs. Additonally, there is a check for MMX to do a fallback if fade animation is specified but no MMX available. In this case sliding is used. Starting with Windows 2000 and Windows ME the hint animation can even be be switched off entirely. Also this case is handled by this method.
