The Win32-GUI wiki also includes this tip on displaying animated GIFs using ImageMagick: http://perl-win32-gui.sourceforge.net/cgi-bin/wiki.cgi?Displaying_Animated_GIFs_Using_ImageMagick I'd imagine this would be more efficient than using an AxWindow running any external application, although I haven't done any profiling to prove it. ------------------------------------------------------------------------- This SF.Net email is sponsored by the Moblin Your Move Developer's challenge Build the coolest Linux based applications with Moblin SDK & win great prizes Grand prize is a trip for two to an Open Source event anywhere in the world http://moblin-contest.org/redirect.php?banner_id=100&url=/ _______________________________________________ Perl-Win32-GUI-Users mailing list Perl-Win32-GUI-Users@lists.sourceforge.net https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/perl-win32-gui-users http://perl-win32-gui.sourceforge.net/
