< Animated Control  >


This is an example of an animated control. It can only work with AVI files, no GIFS. The animation can be shown on the right side of the toolbar or on the form. See second parameter for Open(). It also can have a hyperlink. Set this setting on the SAM_Create with SetURL(). On the toolbar it will stay there when you resize the form. At the moment be sure that you have an AVI that is small enough (like your pushbuttons). Because the AVI will not be fit. If you only have GIF's and wanted them converting to AVI then have a look at my site on Tools.

For developers
At this point I wanna ask you to help me stretching or shrinking the image. I've test it with some API-functions but can't get a solution. Think I done it the wrong way or I'm to stupid. Hope you will find a way to do it. Please let me know it.

Thanks
A very special thanks to David Burke from Centura for his original source that I have adapted here. Thank you anyway David.
