Animated GIF in a Listview... 1

[sqlsamurai]

Does anybody know how i can display an animated gif in a listview so that it animates?

Or how i can extract one image from the animated gif to use.

Thanks.

I think this is something that you'll have to write yourself -- I don't know of any 3rd party controls that have this feature.

Any thoughts on how i would begin this? i assume with the power of .NET there would be some inheritance involved... but i think it's a little over my head. any suggestions, or alternative approaches would be suggested.

Have a look at this component (

http://www.codeproject.com/cs/miscctrl/aa_listview.asp).

I use it extensively, but I've never used it with animated gifs, but it does allow you to embed controls and to access the SubItems independently.

This version is a free download from CodeProject, which does everything I've needed so far - but the Glacial web site (

http://www.glacialcomponents.com/)

contains a later version that you can buy.


Hope this helps.
