// Change the animation parameters of a Static control
STC_MyStatic.Animation = True
AnimationSetMode(STC_MyStatic, actBlinking)

Syntax

AnimationSetMode(<Control used> , <Type of animation>)

<Control used>: Control name

Name of the image control or static control to use.

<Type of animation>: Constant or character string

Animation to perform.
actBlinking (or "Blinking") The static is alternately displayed in its default color and in its flashing color.
actScrolling (or "Scrolling") The image (or the text) is displayed progressively, from the right, from the left, and so on.
This constant can be used with the Static controls only.
actWinDevAnimation (or "Image to animate") The image is divided into several drawings. Each drawing is displayed successively, giving an illusion of video.
This constant can only be used with Image controls.
This constant is not available.

Remarks

Changing the type of animation

If the new type corresponds to the current type, the parameters specific to this type are re-initialized with the default parameters.

Stopping or restarting an animation

The animation can be enabled or disabled with the Animation property.

Images that use an animated format

AnimationSetMode has no effect on images that use an animated format. Therefore, for an image in animated GIF format, the parameters are read in the file and they cannot be modified.
