.gif images

[Guest]

I have a question regarding the use of .gif images in visual basic 6.0. I am
a high school senior doing independent study of Visual Basic. I am quite
experienced in computer use and i love programming. My question is: Can you
use animated .gif images in Visual Basic 6 and actually have the animation
going during runtime? Thanks for your help!

Although this is a dotnet NG:

Yes, you can do that in VB6.0, you'll need controls wich support animated
gif.
example: http://www.jcomsoft.com/
Search the internet for animated gif controls, you'll find a bunch of them.

Good luck

That's not supported out of the box in VB6. Notice that this is a VB.NET
group. VB6-related questions can be posted to one of the
microsoft.public.vb.* groups.

It's a while now since I looked at VB6, but I'm almost sure you could drop
an animated gif onto a webrowser control.

ACK, that would work... .
