Add An Animated Gif To Form?
Jan 31, 2009I saw the other poster with his issue but I didn't want to hijack his thread so i'll start a new one.I'm trying to add an animated Gif to my form and when I run it I just get the following error.
A generic error occurred in GDI+I've tried several animated gifs and they all do it.
I've just got a picturebox on the form. and the following code
picPictureBox1.ImageLocation = ("c:
eportserver.gif")
picPictureBox1.Load()
The animated GIF is the one from this site: (spinny)[URL]...
Animated Graphics Using GDI+?
Jun 6, 2012First part of a huge block will contain some text. That block is not always visible. it will be visible when the user is inputing a control. It is drawn in a bitmap image which will later be a part of the final image of the form.The second part consist of several small bitmap images most probably will contain a letter. These images will not change but there position will keep changing by time. These images will be free to move even beneath the huge block (If visible).I used a timer with 1 sec. interval to redraw form, but when the block is visible it keeps flickering because the timer clear the form and redraw the block.
I tried to use different container for the block like the PictureBox but when the small image goes beneath the block it just disappear.The block color code is "Color.FromArgb(100, Color.Black)" I tried lower Alpha components and that didn't make any difference.My explanation is that the background of the picturebox is not transparent. If I'm right how to make the picture box transparent?

VS 2010 Animated GIF Frames?
Sep 10, 2011I've been racking my brain trying to figure this out. I've done a ton of searching but I can't find what I'm looking for. Right now my program gets a image file, converts the image to 4 colors (Black, Red, Yellow and Green), then converts each pixel to a number for that color.This works great, but now I'm trying to do this for an animated image, but I need to be able to loop through each frame, but I haven't been able to figure out how to access each frame of the image.

Aug 28, 2010I'm using a picture box to show an animated gif on my form. When i created the gif, I set it so it only loops once. The gif plays correctly in a browser, but when i set the image of the picture box to my animated gif it continuously loops.
I only want to loop once through the images embedded in my animated gif when i set the image of the picture box. What is the easiest way to do this? Does anyone have or know of any sample code to do this? I have been searching this for a while, but have not been able to find anything.

View 2 RepliesAnimated Thumbnails - Creating GIF From Images
Sep 16, 2010I have a media gallery type project I'm working on, but I want to enhance it by creating animated thumbnails to "preview" the media. I have already created code to extract 10 incremented images from a pretty much any video format. Now that I have my images, I thought the most efficient way to animate them would be through a GIF. Once you have imported media to a library it will automatically generate the images, and hopefully create the gif thumbnail I'm looking for. How to generate animated GIFs in vb2010?

Create An Animated Icon To Go In The SysTray?
Oct 10, 2011Using VB2010. I want to create an animated icon to go in the SysTray, and I have created all the individual frames as .ico files. Now, I don't like hard coding file names in the code, so I created an ImageList with the .ico files, which I then want to walk through using a Timer. Now, apparently NotifyIcon doesn't accept ImageLists? I get errors when I try to use it. I searched the web, and saw a tip to instead pass the handle of the ImageList to NotifyIcon. So I did this in the timer:
Static Index As Integer = -1
Dim IconHandle As IntPtr
If Index = AnimationIcons.Images.Count - 1 Then

Picturebox Animated Gifs Causes Exception?
Mar 31, 2011I wrote a little utility that compares pictures in a directory against each other and will display them side by side in two pictureboxes so the user can weed out duplicates. Anyway, seemed to be working fine until I started testing a directory that had animated gifs in it. The gifs will start playing in the form's pictureboxes, but at random (with no action taken by user) one of them will crash and give the attached error script. The other gif will continue running, but the offending picturebox will have the unrecoverable red "x", reloading or changing images does nothing after that point for that picturebox. As part of the apparent randomness, it will happen on either picturebox and the amount of time before it happens varies and does not seem to correlate to anything. For additional confusion, I have also seen where there is no error thrown, but both picturesboxes will suddenly go to the red x in the middle of a gif.
See the end of this message for details on invoking just-in-time (JIT) debugging instead of this dialog box.

Resize A Control With A Smooth Animated Look
Nov 25, 2009I'm a moderate (self taught) skill level programmer, developing a piece of software to display information on a Large-screen LCD Display using VB.Net 2008 in Visual Studio 2008 Pro, this is a WinForms project targeted for the .NET 3.5 framework.I have a WebBrowser Control (docked into a disabled panel on the form) which is used to playback a powerpoint presentation, on a fullscreen, borderless form.I need this to be resizeable/ movable, depending on the other information I need to display. If I just resize/move the control, but looks horrible, so I would like to animate this resizing.The WebBrowser control will be, by default, in the top right quarter of the screen, resizing to fill the screen as and when needed (so the control will need to scale up in size, and move left at the same time).I've tried to loop through a resize in increments, but the browser resize flickers, although the powerpoint inside it appears to look OK. Is there any way to make this a nice, smooth resize, without the flickering?
View 4 RepliesVista Animated Pictures On Programme?
Jan 23, 2010I've just finished the coding for latest programme I'm making for a buses company, now the coding is fine. But the actual design of the forms is quiet tacky and amateur looking.The object here is to try and make my application look as professional as possible, I've noticed that on Vista, whenever you let's say transfer a file or load up something, they always have that really cool graphic right at the top of something moving, or something really cool happening.
I heard that there's a pack somewhere that you can download of vista designs for loading, file transfer etc, but I don't actually know where to find it.Does anybody here know?, or how they work?, or that just animated GIF files, or are they actually coded into the forms?
