What this Control does

This control adds a special capability to the standard button. Instead of having a fixed caption this control animates its caption letter for letter. When animating is done it fires the completed event in which you could assign a new CaptionText to restart animating or performing some action (e.g. a countdown on a button which starts the next page automatically after completion). Moreover the button has got a BorderStyle property that gives you the possibility to make the button inset.

How to use this Control

Write this Code in your HTML file
