Is there anyway to play animated gifs in vb without using an internet browser?
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...
Theirs a free ocx here:

I downloaded and installed it. Now , How do I use it ?. Never dealt with animation before.
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.
Go to www.planet-source-code.com and look up "Animated GIF"
