Remarks
"Clippit" is the default Assistant, and msoAnimationIdle is the default animation type for the Assistant.
Depending on the selected Assistant, setting the Animation property may or may not result in an obvious animation. However, all MsoAnimationType constants are valid for all Assistants. Note that different constants may produce the same animation.
The following MsoAnimationType constants represent animations that repeat the specified action until the Assistant is dismissed or until the Animation property is reset with another animation:
| msoAnimationCheckingSomething
msoAnimationGetTechy msoAnimationListensToComputer msoAnimationSearching |
msoAnimationThinking
msoAnimationWorkingAtSomething msoAnimationWritingNotingSomething |
Example
