AnimationName

Applies to

Animation controls

Description

Specifies the name of the AVI file that contains the animation to be associated with the Animation control. The AVI file must be an uncompressed file or a file compressed using run-length encoding (BI_RLE8). You cannot use an AVI file that has a sound channel; it will not display in the control.

Usage

In a painter

To specify an AVI file for the control:

  • Click the browse (...) button next to the AnimationName field to select a file.

In scripts

The AutoPlay property takes a string value. The following line sets the AnimationName property for a control called am_1:

am_1.AnimationName = "C:\work\avifiles\Search.AVI"
