Animation (Property)

In french: Animation

The property Animation property lets you manage the animation of an image or text (present in a Static Text control).

It is possible to:

Know the current state of the moving image or animated text.
Start or stop the animation of an image or text (animated GIFs, for example).

This property can be used in the following controls:

Image controls
Button controls
Static Text controls
Carousel controls
Progress Bar controls.

The Animation property also animates text in a Static Text 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 Text 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 the AnimationSetMode function.

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 Text control, you must choose the animation:

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

Animating a progress bar

In a ProgressBar, animation takes place when there is a significant change in the ProgressBar value: instead of immediately positioning itself on the new value, the ProgressBar is incremented (or decremented) progressively to obtain an animated effect.

Note: this effect is particularly suitable for circular ProgressBars.

Miscellaneous

The animation is set to True by default.
