Put a PictureBox on a form and then specify a picture file with a Gif extension. Or:
Programatically animate a gif Image loading frames into a PictureBox with code, here's the Gif class:
VB.NET
Imports System.Drawing.Imaging
Imports System.Drawing
Public Class GifImage
Private gifImage As Image
Private dimension As FrameDimension
Private frameCount As Integer
Private currentFrame As Integer = -1
Private reverse As Boolean
Private [step] As Integer = 1
Public Sub New(path As String)
gifImage = Image.FromFile(path)
'initialize
dimension = New FrameDimension(gifImage.FrameDimensionsList(0))
'gets the GUID
'total frames in the animation
frameCount = gifImage.GetFrameCount(dimension)
End Sub
Public Property ReverseAtEnd() As Boolean
'whether the gif should play backwards when it reaches the end
Get
Return reverse
End Get
Set
reverse = value
End Set
End Property
Public Function GetNextFrame() As Image
currentFrame += [step]
'if the animation reaches a boundary...
If currentFrame >= frameCount OrElse currentFrame < 0 Then
If reverse Then
[step] *= -1
'...reverse the count
'apply it
currentFrame += [step]
Else
currentFrame = 0
'...or start over
End If
End If
Return GetFrame(currentFrame)
End Function
Public Function GetFrame(index As Integer) As Image
gifImage.SelectActiveFrame(dimension, index)
'find the frame
Return DirectCast(gifImage.Clone(), Image)
'return a copy of it
End Function
End Class
C#
using System.Drawing.Imaging;
