Delphi: sliding (animated) panel

Question

Is there a sliding (animated) panel component for Delphi?

For instance it can be found in Raize Components (a left panel with a "Hot Spot" or hide/show button).

I need not a resizeable panel but a panel that can slide horizontally and smoothly from the left to the right + that has a hide/show button (it's not a big deal if without that button).

Thanks!

Answer 1

Since version 2009, there is a TCategoryPanelGroup where you add TCategoryPanel.

Answer 2

The new Delphi version will include such kind of sliding panels ( trough the integration of FireMonkey, formely vgScene/dxScene ). You'll just have to click on height or position props and an option will allow to create a animation for this, with various option ( interpolation kind, duration etc).
