OpenNETCF AnimateCtl

[anbeyon]

Hi all,

I am trying to use the OpenNETCF Animate control and am experiencing
some funnies.

Has anyone used it successfully ?

I am running on a TFT display whose native resolution is 240x320. I am
running with it rotated so 320x240.

Anyway I want to run an animation after N seconds of inactivity.

I have a GIF file that is made up as a film strip of 40 x 320x240
frames. ( horizontal running left to right so the overall bit mat is
12800x240)

I have the animation running but have something odd happening - the GIF
file I am running fills only around 85% of the screen vertically. I'm
not certain but I think something similar is also happening
horizontally.

Here's my code - can you see any errors
