Animated GIFS

[Judgey]

Good Morning Guru's

Can anybody help with this one, I have created some animated GIFs which have a transparent background and would like to bring them onto my VB Forms, I have tried using the Media Player but it ignores the transparency, does have any ideas on the best way to achieve this ?

There is a way to Fake it without any 3rd Party Controls, you can use the Microsoft Internet Controls
Webbrowser Control within a Picturebox.

Take a Form with the following controls and paste this code into it;
A CommonDialogbox, a Command Button, a Picturebox & WebBrowser Control (Drawn within the Picturebox
Container)..

private Sub Command1_Click()
on error GoTo UserCancelled
With CommonDialog1
.DialogTitle = "Select an Animated Gif.."
.Filter = "GIFs|*.gif"
.CancelError = true
.ShowOpen
WebBrowser1.Navigate .FileName
WebBrowser1.Move -ScaleX(12, vbPixels, vbTwips), -ScaleY(20, vbPixels, vbTwips), Screen.Width, Screen.Height
Picture1 = LoadPicture(.FileName)
Picture1.AutoSize = true
End With
UserCancelled:
End Sub
