I was wondering how to display gif-animations. Are there any special functions I should use? Some example-code would be greatly apreciated. I use C++, and program in Win32.

Hey,man,display gif-animations on Win32 platform? Pretty Simply!

just directly or non-directly using the CAnimateCtrl class in MFC!

For more detailed information,please see the related topic(s) in MSDN...

Hope this helped!

CAnimateCtrls will only do AVI files, no GIF support.

I think there isn''t any easy way to view GIFs (animated or not) in Windows. You''ll probably need to write your own GIF loader(haven''t seen any free ones due to patent issues).

Head over to wotsit and look for the GIF format.
