Animated gif in dialog

[Gintaras]

This example shows how to display an animated gif file in a dialog. It uses a free ActiveX control from http://activex.moonvalley.com/download_ ... ntrols.htm . There are also several other controls - flash player, MP3 player and more, but I did not test them.

For testing, extract the attached zip on the desktop.

Function AniGifDlg

Code:
