Dialog animation

Hello,
When I show a dialog on my CE device the showing process is animated.
It starts with a rectangle in the middle of the screen and the
rectangle is growing and moving to its final position and size for the
dialog. The closing process is also animated.
Does anyone know if there is a registry setting that can turn this
animation effect off?
Thanks / Lars

Sounds like something is taking too much processor time and not allowing CE
enough time to re-paint the screen.

Try searching the file, reginit.ini, in the flat release directory. I
searched one (for an Internet Applicance-based platform) and didn't see
any entry having to do with the animation you're describing.

For the embedded market, the animation (and other desktop-inherited
"features") is wasteful of resources (CPU time, code, and memory) and
should be removed. Perhaps this animation code can be removed if a)
it's provided under the shared source and b) that's permitted under the
licensing agreement.
