    Question

    Hi,
    I really wanted to know, lets say I have an animated GIF file. How can I see it animated with using VB?
    it is not being animated when I use simple PictureBox or ImageBox.

    How can I see it anyway?

    Thanks.

    Place a Webbrowser on your form and then navigate to the animated gif file on your computer.

    Code:
    Webbrowser1.Navigate "C:\anigifs\anigif.gif"

    They have OCX's for this, they'd probably have transparency too....
