When typing in many of Microsoft's first-party apps, such as Office or the Windows 10 stock Mail app, text entry is smoothly animated (discussed here, among many other places). The text does not simply appear and the cursor does not simply teleport to its next position. Instead, there is a transition animation that causes the cursor to smoothly move to its new position.
Is there a flag or any other method to enable this same effect in apps we develop ourselves?
I've looked through the API documentation for the TextBox and the RichEditBox but I'm not seeing anything.
If there is not such a built-in method, how would I go about implementing this myself, perhaps by rolling my own TextBox?
