AVI animation control

[Dave Navarro]

Has anyone done anything with the animation control to play AVI files in a dialog?

Any sample code?

if you are interesting in mci (with sound) -- http://www.powerbasic.com/support/pb...ad.php?t=22720

if you are about common controls - search by sysanimate32

for example, see chris's subs in http://www.powerbasic.com/support/pb...ad.php?t=20216

Dave;

The animation control is not intended for Videos with sound.
It can't play sound and the control must use a 'silent" AVI.

If you need real animation/video capabilities, then create a
generic window and use MCI to play a Video in it.

I need to play silent AVI's (like the one displayed by Microsoft when you COPY files and folders) in a dialog.

Dave,

you can use MS's multimedia OCX with JA COM/PB 2.0

This is what I have been using...
Is this what you are asking for?

  Dialog New ghForm, "Copy files", 0, 0,200,40, Style&, ExStyle& To hDlg&
  AniStyle& = %WS_CHILD Or %WS_VISIBLE Or %ACS_AUTOPLAY Or %ACS_TRANSPARENT Or %ACS_CENTER
  AniStyleEx& = 0 '%WS_EX_CLIENTEDGE
  Control Add "SysAnimate32", hDlg&, 1000,"",0,0,200,40,AniStyle&,AniStyleEx&
  Dialog Show Modeless hDlg&
  Control Handle hDlg&,1000 To hAni&
  Call Animate_Open(hAni&,"FILECOPY.AVI")
  ....
  ....
  Call Animate_Close(hAni&)
  Dialog End hDlg&

Thanks Philippe, but I like to avoid third-party controls unless absolutely necessary.

Fred, thanks a bunch. It's precisely what I was looking for.

Dave,
I haven't done it in PB/DLL but I have a VB5 example of the COPY FILES display.
