How do I insert animated gif's into my VB projects?
jmt
have them loaded at runtime. I only have a couple of them. Imagelist doesn't
work, I'm already using a resource file for icons, and the animated gif's
don't seem to work with a resource file.
I guess what I need is to insert them into a DLL. How can I do this? An
example would be helpful.
Thanks,
jt

and not sure if thats exactly what u wanted, but oh well.

unfortunately, this is not my question.
I don't what to load them from a file on the drive. I want them stored into
somethings such as a DLL or whatever, than load them at runtime.
Thanks,

Look for the free GIF89.DLL (recently seen at www.planetsourcecode.com/vb)
which you can "preload" with a GIF, just like you can preload a picturebox.

John,
I guess, I'm batting zero. This is not what I am looking for. I don't want
to load the graphic images from a file. I want to get away of having all my
images on disk!
This DLL, loads from file only. I don't want that. I want to accumlate all
my graphics files, gif, jpg, etc.. into 1 (one) file only! Then from that 1
file only, load them into memory when I need them at runtime only!

their applications, if nobody cares to read 'm. Sometimes you wonder why
someone doesn't believe you when you make an explicit statement.
Jeff, when I say that the GIF89 can be preloaded, then it does. I know this
by experience, simple as that. When you would have looked at the properties
and the docs that come with GIF89 control (don't bother about the English),
you would have seen it too:
--quote
4. Embed – if it is false then you have to distribute your gif as file with
your application, if it is true then gif file becomes part of your exe and
you don't have to distribute gif itself. When you set embed to true then
control will ignore FileName so if in design mode you set Embed to true and
then decide to change image then you have to set Embed to false, change
FileName and set Embed back to true.
--unquote (slightly edited, John)
When you want to have all graphics as one single file, the various formats
will give trouble. A trick could be to create the composed file yourself.
Keep track of the size of each graphic (and its type) when creating the big
file. Then you are able to calculate the offset of the grahic you want to
load. Read that part (your graphic) of the big file through Binary Mode into
a byte-array, from which you create a temporary file with the right
extension. This temp file can be loaded into the GIF control or plain
picturebox. Just an idea.

The only problem is that I cannot get it to work. The code I am using is:
Private Sub Animation1_Click()
With CommonDialog1
.Filter = "avi (*.avi;*.gif)|*.avi;*.gif"
.ShowOpen
End With
With Animation1
.AutoPlay = True
.Open CommonDialog1.FileName
End With
End Sub
I do understand that the control cannot play AVI files that are compressed
(except for RLE compression) or those that contain sound, and it may be that the
files I have tested with it are unplayable because of this. Even so, I cannot
get it to play any animated Gif files either. Is this control capable of playing
Gif files?
The error that I am getting is Run Time Error 35752 Unable to Open AVI File
(whether I attempt to load a Gif or an AVI).
Any clues?

It works great for animated gifs. It's only about 30kb.

The picture box doesn't support animations, so you're not going to get it to
work with the Picture Box. Apparently, if you add Microsoft Windows Common
Controls 2 into your project, then use the Animation control, you should be
able to use Animated Gif89s.

specify a local file (the gif) as the URL. This will display the gif on
your form and it will animate.
Good Luck,
