# Animation Effects

Three properties define the animation behavior of **RadDropDownList**:

* **DropDownAnimationEnabled**: This property controls whether an animation will be enabled or not.

* **DropDownAnimationEasing**: Specifies the precise animation effect that will be applied. You can choose from a number of predefined effects including linear, exponential, elastic, etc.

* **DropDownAnimationFrames**: Property specifies the length of the animation. The higher the value of this property, the longer the animation will take.
