Animated GIF images in VB

Is it possible to display animated GIF images, and if yes how?
Thanks for your help

You can use the webbrowser control, or check out www.codeguru.com/vb (http://www.codeguru.com/vb) activex section (if I remember well...), there's a free ocx which can show animated gifs.

HI,
I had the same question and posted it sometime back, may be 2 days back. There was one person by name Aaron answered my question. He had sent me a piece of code, which should help u also.

The answer to my question was:

Add a Picturebox to a Form, place a WebBrowser Control Within the Picturebox, add a CommonDialogbox Control..

code:

Private Sub Command1_Click()
On Error GoTo Load_Cancel
With CommonDialog1
.CancelError = True
.DialogTitle = "Open an Animated GIF"
.Filter = "GIFS (*.GIF)|*.GIF"
.ShowOpen
WebBrowser1.Navigate .FileName
WebBrowser1.Move ScaleX(-12, vbPixels, vbTwips), ScaleY(-19, vbPixels, vbTwips), Width, Height
Picture1 = LoadPicture(.FileName)
Picture1.AutoSize = True
End With
Load_Cancel:
End Sub

u can avoid common dialog box, if u know filename with full path.
