Animating an image

The image to be animated in the Image control can be:
  • an animated image (animated GIF, for example).
  • an image animated by WINDEV. In this case, the type of animation can be defined in the Image control description window ("Details" tab) or programmatically with AnimationSetMode.
In a Button control, only an animated image can be associated with the control (Animated GIF, for example).

  • in the Static control description window ("Details" tab),
  • programmatically with the AnimationSetMode function.

Remark: this effect is adapted to circular progress bars.

Miscellaneous

The animation is set to True by default.
