Animated gif as a process indicator.

[Marc Venken]

Based on Rao's "Transparent Window topic" I was trying to show a animated gif to be used as a processing/progress meter, so that people see the computer is processing data.

It won't work Somebody with more succes ?

#include "fivewin.ch"
#include "gif.ch"

function Main()
   local oDlg, oGif, i

   msginfo("Loop start")
   animation("ON")
   for i = 1 to 300
      sleep(1)
   next
   animation("OFF")
   msginfo("Loop done")

return nil

function Animation(cType)
  local oDlgA, oGif
  if cType = "ON"
     DEFINE DIALOG oDlgA SIZE 400, 300 PIXEL ;
       STYLE WS_POPUP COLOR CLR_BLACK,RGB(255,254,254)

       oDlgA:nSeeThroClr := RGB(255,254,254)

       oDlga:bInit := <||
          @ 0,140 GIF oGif SIZE 240,260 FILE "..\gifs\halo.gif" OF oDlgA ;
          ADJUST ACTION oDlgA:End()
          return nil
       >

   ACTIVATE DIALOG oDlgA CENTERED
  else
    oDlgA:End()
  endif
return nil
