Animated GIF in vb.net

I am using Visual Studio 2003, Windows Application (not web) and
Visual Basic.

When I place an animated gif (not in runtime) in a button or picture
box, it works fine. When I change the gif in runtime from an
imagelist or Image.FromFile command, the image is displayed but there
is no animation.

How do I change (in run-time) one animated gif to another animated gif
and display the animation?

You really need to ask in a DotNet NG

Here we are mostly 'Classic' VB

However, I would be inclined to test moving the Image from one Button
to another - to see what happens
- Invisible Buttons make a pretty good repository for Images

Is it possible using Image or Bitmap to build and save an animated GIF file? I am not have a problem saving the GIF file just getting the frames added to it. I did find ImageAnimator but it only seems to deal with showing the GIF and not saving it. Thanks, John

Hi there, I'm trying to read an animated gif from a url (for a banner-rotator). The code I have now, does read the gif (or jpg), but the result is that I only get the first frame of the animated gif, AND at a much lower quality :-( Important to note is that the image is read from a url (from a different server), and thus NOT from the local disk. Below is the code I use:

At the top of the page on my website http://www.itemlook.com I have an animated gif called "eyeline.gif". It has worked fine in the past, but recently I am unable to get it to work using IE6. All that I get is a box with nothing in it. It almost seems as if the file will not open on my page, let alone animate. It still works fine with my Netscape browser. I am using Windows 98. Any ideas would be appreciated. Thanks,

Hi, I'd like to write Javascript that stops animated gifs from animating. On Firefox, at least, window.stop(); does the trick, although it stops everything on the page and is kind of unpredictable. If I connect it to the onload event, sometimes only half the page will be displayed. Does the onload even fire before rendering? Does anyone know a reasonable way to accomplish my original goal of

I thought it would be nice to display some animated GIFs on some of my forms. I put a PictureBox control on a form, and loaded my GIF file in. It animates, but not properly. It seems very jerky and dwells on some frames longer than it should. Searching for this problem, I have found several people who have stated that animated GIFs don't work in a PictureBox at all, and you have to use the ImageAnimator. I assume they must be referring to...

Hey, I have a PHP script that I made for an image based shoutbox with emoticons. The problem is that php GD doesn't support animated gifs, yet perl GD does. How would I make it so that I could copy the animated gifs via Perl onto the static image that I made with php? I've tried with php imagecreatefromgif(), which produces a static image. I also tried using the GIFAnimation class from phpclasses to make an animated gif but it returns it as...
