using an animated gif

How can I run an animated gif in VB?

Use the WebBrowser control and "Navigate" to the GIF.

By if you use the IE Navigate Command Wont the ie window come up? Ive never tried that before..

The Way I Have done it in the past is to Slpit the Gif into Seperate Frames, and Put them Each in pictures, In the same array and then use this code..

dim loopingframes as string
Dim frame as integer
Frame = 0
loopingframes = "true"

do while Loopingframes = "true"
image1(0).picture = image1(frame).picture
frame = frame + 1
if frame > 5 then loopingframes = "false"
loop

that work for you?

Take a look at my Reply to the Same Post: Here.

I use the Webbrowser Control within a Picturebox to give the Illusion of an Animated Gif Picturebox.

I have the code to use Animated GIF without using any 3rd party OCXs or Web Browser control (pure VB). If anyone wants it, email me.
