    There are some samples at http://www.planetsourcecode.com/vb/ for sure...

    I just don't know if using an animated gif using the samples at PlanetSourceCode in your code is legal, if I'm correct the GIF format is copyrighted...

    Isn't their a readme included or so?

    Anyhow, just add the control to your 'toolbox' and drag it onto your form.

    Most likely their will be a load command
    control1.load("x:\MeNaked.gif")

    and a 'start' and 'stop' command
    control1.start

    control1.stop

    to get it to work you just add it to the form and put the name of the gif in the filename property. You may also want to set the transparent property to true, depending on the gif your using.
