Hi , all

I am working on project that need to insert GIF pictures in RichTextBox but the GIF doesn't work or move!
this is the code i used

Dim data As DataObject
data = Clipboard.GetDataObject
Clipboard.Clear()
Clipboard.SetImage(Image.FromFile("D:\image.gif"))
document.Paste()
Clipboard.SetDataObject(data)

so What's the problem?

help me please
thanks in advance

So you're saying that it's an animated GIF that doesn't animate in the RTB, correct? It may well be that the RTB doesn't support animation. It is a text control, after all. What happens if you insert the same image into a document in WordPad? What happens if you put the same Image in a PictureBox?
