Is there any way a can simply create Playing card curl effect. Back side to front side corner view only ? Any idea on solution will be greatfull. I need delphi sulution not inserting animated gif in delphi app.
 
Or just use a couple of bitblts.

You'll need a bitmap for each:
1) the front side of the card
2) the back side of the card
3) a diagonal mask:
Code:
+------+
| a   /|  a = transparent
|   /  |
| /    |
|      |
|    b |  b = background color
+------+

Now blit the cards so that the bottom-right corner of (1) intersects with the top-left corner of (2) (or whatever) and then blit the background so that the diagonal takes out the lower-right part of the triangle:
Code:
+------+
|      |
|      |
|      |
|  +---+
|  | /
+--+
Depending on how you want to do it, you may want to rotate one 90.

If you just want a top to bottom flip, that makes it much easier. Instead of a 3rd bitmap, all you need is a DrawRect.

Hope this helps.
 
You can embed an animated gif into your project.
A third party component TGifImage (Freeware) will do this it comes with a basic gif animator.


It might even be built into new versions of Delphi (not sure about that)
