SYMPTOMS
Using an animated GIF file with the Visual FoxPro image control, only the first frame of the animated GIF appears. This is also true for other areas of the product that support GIF images.



CAUSE
Visual FoxPro does not support the animated GIF format. Only the GIF version 89a file format is supported.



STATUS
This behavior is by design.



Steps to Reproduce Behavior
To reproduce the behavior, run the following code: PUBLIC oForm

* Locate an animated GIF file cMyAniGIF = GETPICT("GIF")

oForm=NewObject("form") oForm.AddObject("MyImage","Image") oForm.MyImage.Picture=cMyAniGIF oForm.MyImage.Visible=.T.

oForm.Show NOTE: Only the first frame of the animated .gif file is displayed in the form.
