If you success to convert GIF to AVI why you load it using OLE ?<br />
<br />
Use Animation control in Microsoft Windows Common Controls-2 (COMCT232.OCX).<br />
<br />
Example:<br />
<br />
Private Sub Command1_Click()<br />
&nbsp;Animation1.AutoPlay = True<br />
&nbsp;Animation1.Open &quot;c:\myfile.avi &quot;<br />
End Sub<br />
<br />

Nope... it doesn't work...<br />
My compression of AVI is different from what the animation control wants, that's why i have not been using the animation control.<br />
Thanks for your help anyway...<br />
P/S The question is mainly about gifs!<br />

1. How do I load an animated gif into VB? (Are there any FREE custom controls or whatever coding?)<br />
2. Yes, some idiot mentioned in the archives about converting it into an AVI and loading it straight using OLE, I suppose.<br />
If so, how do I get rid of that stupid status bar showing the progress of the animation?<br />
Thanx.<br />

Of Animated Gifs and AVIs

Visual Basic is Microsoft’s event-driven programming language and integrated development environment (IDE) for its Component Object Model (COM) programming model. It is relatively easy to learn and use because of its graphical development features and BASIC heritage. It has been replaced with VB.NET, and is very similar to VBA (Visual Basic for Applications), the programming language for the Microsoft Office product line.
