When triggered it executes a certain animation in top of this component. There are certain types of animations - use attribute ANIMATIONTYPE to select the appropriate one.
The component is very useful to add interactivity into your visual page processing - e.g. to point out areas of data change.

In CaptainCasa you can define styles definitions for components. A style definition is a definition of a set of default attribute values that are applied to the component. In case you want to differenciate between different usage types of the component you can apply multiple styles - and use the stylevariant attribute to select between.
Trigger value: if the value changes then the component's activity is executed on client side. Use class Trigger on server side for implementations of this property.
