MS Access Forum / ActiveX Controls / September 2003microsoft clip arts
Whenever I insert an animated microsoft clip art onto a form, I always lose the animation aspect, what am i doing wrong. Any help will be greatly appreciated. Regards Sanj You're not doing anything wrong. Access forms weren't intended to display animation. If you really need this capability, Stephen Lebans has some stuff that might help at http://www.lebans.com/animatedgif.htm and http://www.lebans.com/animatedgifplayer.htm -- Doug Steele, Microsoft Access MVP http://I.Am/DougSteele > Whenever I insert an animated microsoft clip art onto a > form, I always lose the animation aspect, what am i doing [quoted text clipped - 4 lines] > Regards > Sanj Thanks for that Douglas, however they're all BETA versions, do you have any other useful websites i could source this activex control from. Again, thank you in advance. Regards Sanj >-----Original Message----- >You're not doing anything wrong. Access forms weren't intended to display [quoted text clipped - 18 lines] > >. Here's something Stephen posted on this topic a few months ago: The easiest method is to download a 3'rd party ActiveX control. For performance reasons, it's written in ATL and multithreaded, I like and have used this one. http://skyscraper.fortunecity.com/capacity/402/activex.html For a listing of other controls have a look at: http://www.generation.net/~hleboeuf/gif.htm You can also use the MS Web Browser control. Check the currently installed ActiveX controls on your system. Finally, for those situations where you do not want to use an ActiveX control or just want to play a single Animated Gif as part of a splash screen there is code on my site to do this in native Access VBA. No 3'rd party DLL's required. The code is a bit dated now and does not include support for Local Color tables that my latest version in VB6 does. Update coming soon..it's my next project.(I've been saying this for 6 months now!) http://www.lebans.com/animatedgifplayer.htm -- Doug Steele, Microsoft Access MVP http://I.Am/DougSteele > Thanks for that Douglas, however they're all BETA > versions, do you have any other useful websites i could [quoted text clipped - 25 lines] > > > >. |
