    It isn't doen via code it is done through a control.

    Wink A trick

    A trick would be to use the webbrwoser control, it can show animated GIF's. Here's the ZDNet tip:

    For the week of April 10th
    Display animated GIFs in VB

    While the Picture ActiveX control offers a great way to display graphics, it only shows the first image in an animated GIF. To display a fully animated GIF, without rebuilding the entire graphic frame by frame, you can use the WebBrowser control (just keep in mind that this control isn't available to machines without IE 3.0 or greater). To do so, select the Microsoft Internet Controls component. When you do, the WebBrowser control appears on Visual Basic's toolbar. Drop the control onto a form, then in the form's Load() event place the following code:

    Code:
    WebBrowser1.Navigate "C:\Internet\anim.gif"
    Where the filespec points to a valid animated GIF path or URL. When you run the program, Visual Basic displays the GIF.

    Unfortunately, the WebBrowser also displays a right-hand scroll bar--probably not what you want for a decorative image. Believe or not, you can turn this scrollbar off just like you would normally via HTML, as in:

    Code:
    WebBrowser1.Navigate "about:<html><body scroll='no'><img src='D:\Internet\anim.gif'></img></body></html>"
    Now when you run the form, Visual Basic displays the image sans scrollbar.
    A mind is like a parachute, it has to open to let it work

    Take a look at www.planetsourcecode.com and search for Animated gif in the VB section. You'll find several examples. I can assure you it is not 'a few lines of code'
