Animated GIF OCX

Animated GIF OCX is an ActiveX control that you can integrate into your software applications to allow end users to play GIF animations. It's a small-sized package that contains a demo and an animated GIF to load into the demo.

Made in Visual C++ 6.0, the GIF ActiveX control is compatible with Visual Basic, Delphi, C++ Builder and other development utilities that support the standard ActiveX control. It can be used to save GIF89a as BMP or GIF files.

It may be necessary to download and register the COMDLG32.OCX if you don't already have it. This is an error that may appear at startup and, on some systems, it can be resolved only by running the demo with administrative privileges after registering the OCX.

The demo has a single window with a simple layout and two buttons for playing the animated GIF that's available in the downloaded package (a running cheetah) or any other GIF file you have stored on your computer, whether it's in a local, removable or network location. While viewing the GIF, end users will be able to extract frames to save them as still GIF or BMP graphic files. Online help documentation is available to describe the properties and methods used in Animated GIF OCX.
