hiding a gif inside a dll

[Dorothy]

I need to hide a gif inside a activex dll and
call it this way:

c:\windows\abc.dll\a1.gif

where a1.gif is inside the dll.

Any solutions?

Ok, you can't call it that way, because if it is inside the dll then it is not a file and you can't reference it like a file.

One solution would be to create a form in the dll with a picture box on it, and have the picture in the picture box. Then all you have to do is load the form and then get the picture from the picture box.

If anyone has a better solution, I would like to know. That is the best one I can think of that would be fairly easy to do.
