_{Tuesday, October 7, 2008 1:05 PM}

I made this: 

           Panel animacija = new Panel(); //animacija
          
            animacija.Name = "animacija";
            animacija.Size = new Size(105,80);
            animacija.Location = PointToClient(animacija.PointToScreen(new Point(x_pozicija,y_pozicija))); 
           animacija.BackColor = System.Drawing.Color.Aqua;
          
           animacija.BackgroundImage = ((System.Drawing.Image.FromFile(Application.StartupPath + @"\Resources\world.gif")));
               
            panel1.Controls.Add(animacija);

When i click on panel it shows me this picture, but problem is that it is gif animation and it shoud move? why is not working? it shows only one frame of animation

you are setting the gif as background of panel thats why it is not animating. you need to add a picture box in the panel control and then set the image file of that picture box to your gif .

Hope it will help you.

Hi

Do it something like this.. here picGifImage is a PictureBox control.. :))

         Panel animacija = new Panel(); //animacija
          
              animacija.Name = "animacija";
               animacija.Size = new Size(105,80);
               animacija.Location = PointToClient(animacija.PointToScreen(new Point(x_pozicija,y_pozicija))); 
              animacija.BackColor = System.Drawing.Color.Aqua;
        animacija.Controls.Add(this.picGifImage);

                        
                        imgGIFImage = Image.FromFile(\Some path);
                        this.picGifImage.Image = imgGIFImage ;                       
                        this.picGifImage.Size = imgGIFImage .Size;
                        this.picGifImage.SizeMode = PictureBoxSizeMode.CenterImage;

This will definitly show you the Animated GIF Image..
