I am about through with the Windows Visual Basic 6 and want to include my animated gif images. Will I be allowed to save images to animated gif VB6?
Solution 1:
A small windowless control (such as Image or Shape control) which allows the display of animated gif file (supports transparency). It’s based on GDI + for rendering.
Solution 2:
You can also start objects’ animation which type is «image" or "picture box" by manipulating their properties or their method MOVE LEFT, TOP. For automatic movement you use "Timer".
Hello Toles Hitz,
As far as I know, Visual Basic 6 does not have native support for Animated GIFs. You can however, split the GIF into individual slides, insert them to image boxes and then set a timer to put it in a loop or stop when it reaches the end.
Another solution is to find a control you can use, usually made by other people, and add the components to your program.
Or use a Web Browser control but it would have to distribute another DLL/OCX file to your project and could show different results with different users depending on their Web Browser.
Hope this helps.
