LinuxUniversal Windows 10 App This parameter is ignored. No animation can be played when the control is made invisible.
<Animation duration>: Optional integer
Duration of animation in hundredths of a second. This parameter can correspond to:
  • an integer corresponding to the number of hundredths of a second,
  • a Duration variable,
  • the duration in a readable format (e.g., '1cs' or '10 ms').
We recommend that you use a short duration (up to 1 second).
The application is locked as long as the animation is not over. If the user clicks or preses a key, the animation is stopped and the controls are displayed in their final status.
LinuxUniversal Windows 10 App This parameter is ignored. No animation can be played when the control is made invisible.
Remarks
WINDEVReports and QueriesWindowsUser code (UMC)

Animating a group of controls

If <Control name> corresponds to a group of controls, the animation is played in the rectangle defined by the control at the top left and the one at the bottom right.
The controls that do not belong to the group of controls but found in this area will also be animated.

Special cases

  • ControlInvisible has no effect if the control or the group of controls is not visible.
  • The Visible property can also be used to make controls invisible. This property cannot be used to play an animation during this operation. In Linux, the Visible property and the ControlInvisible function are equivalent.
