CAnimationGroup::m_bAutodestroyAnimationObjects	Specifies how to destroy animation objects. If this parameter is TRUE, animation objects will be destroyed automatically when the group is destroyed. Otherwise animation objects must be destroyed manually. The default value is FALSE. Set this value to TRUE only if all animation objects that belong to group are allocated dynamically with operator new.

Remarks

Animation groups are created automatically by animation controller (CAnimationController) when you add animation objects using CAnimationController::AddAnimationObject. An animation group is identified by GroupID, which is usually taken as a parameter to manipulate animation groups. The GroupID is taken from the first animation object being added to a new animation group. An encapsulated animation storyboard is created after you call CAnimationController::AnimateGroup and can be accessed via public member m_pStoryboard.
