Hello Everyone,
Does anyone know of an external dll to allow the support of animated gif files in VDS 5?
Thanks,

You could use the browser control to display the GIFs. I don't believe that
there are any extensions that can do this, however, I'm kinda familiar with
the layout of GIF files and development of a dll to do this shouldn't be too
hard. Lemme see what I can do.

The only real issue with using the browser controls to display an animated gif is in doing so it then causes the layout to be rather messy. I would rather find a better solution.

Sorry, it's gonna take a little more than I thought to write this dll.
Currently I have too many other projects going to start another one that
is this involved. I will, however, add this to my very long list of things to
do.

DIALOG SHOW
%%bmpfile = 1
:Evloop
wait event,.8
dialog set,bitmap1,%%bmpfile.bmp
%%bmpfile = @succ(%%bmpfile)
if @greater(%%bmpfile,4)

end
goto @event()
