Animation (Property)

In french: Animation

The Animation property animates an image.

You can:

Determine if the image or text is animated.
Start or stop the animation of an image or text (animated GIFs, for example).

This property can be used in the following controls:

Progress Bar controls.

The Animation property also animates text in a Static control.

Example

// Initialize the Image control with Arrow.GIF (animated GIF)
IMG_Image1 = "C:\Temp\Arrow.gif"
// Start the animation
IMG_Image1.Animation = True

// Initialize the Static control with the following text: "WINDEV is great"
STC_Caption1 = "WINDEV is great"
// Start the animation
STC_Static1.Animation = True

Remarks

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).

Animating a text

To animate the text displayed in a Static control, you must choose the animation:

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

Animating a progress bar

In a progress bar, the animation starts when the progress value changes: the position is not immediately set on the new value, but it increases (or decreases) progressively to get an animation effect.

Remark: this effect is adapted to circular progress bars.

Miscellaneous

The animation is set to True by default.
