Hello,

Is there a way to add an animated "gif" to opendcl? I plan to ceate
several forms that will show "gif" files...Any ideas>

You should be able to use the HTML control to display a gif, but there is no .gif support in native OpenDCL code (because .gif support requires a license from CompuServe).

Thank you Owen. I will give it a try.

Hi paul_s, is it a must to use gif? Maybe png format would be a good alternative.

Hi Fred,

It's a Cantara screen capture animated gif file. I have a lot of
them to show our office autocad users how each customize tool
on palettes/toolbars, and dynamic blocks work.

Then I'd prefer to give a try to the HTML-viewer, too.
BTW: can the Animation-control display an animated GIF-File?

Fred,

I added an animation-control in my project. On a modal & modeless
form. The control did not show up when I loaded them..Anyway I dont
think it would work because it wants an "avi" filename.
