Animating objects with VisiconX properties has already been introduced in the sections Animating Grid, ListBox, or ComboBox Controls and Animating Query Properties. What wasn't made obvious in those sections was that you were actually using a VisiconX property, most often ADORecords, as the animation source.
The following illustration shows a Data link, displaying the value 120.00, and a rectangle. The caption of the Data link and the VerticalFillPercentage of the Rectangle are animated by the Column3 property of the Data Control.

In this case, Column3 contains the number of product units in stock. The Data link displays the number of units in stock for the current row and the rectangle fills as a percentage of the number of units in stock.
