    character animation

    i've been trying to insert a moving .gif image into my vb form and have it actually show the animation, but all it does is show the first frame. i know abcdefg said that it only took a few lines of code in a previous thread, and i asked how it was done in that thread, but nobody has responded to it. any help i could get would be great.

    I'm pretty sure you need to get an ActiveX control to play the gif. The standard PictureBox or ImageBox won't do it. Sorry I can't remember what control it is though.

    It would probably be something like gif89 or gif89a.
