create animted gif

[rchiah]

is it possible to create animated gif file using VB6??

Yes, go find the GIF algorythm/format and/or api and start using it :)

It is just a compressed sequence of bitmaps.... so search the web, there are plenty of things out there.

then it is we can create a program like gif builder using VB 6?
sort like have function : save as animated gif?

[MoMad]

Yes, but it will be too slow so you can find a dll with GIF API... I know that the PNG format has MANY, MANY, MANY API's out there which are 101% FREE and open source, but the GIF?? That will be very hard to find... it is owned by IBM and i think that it will COST you... but im not 100% on that.
