Raider Posted March 23, 2004 Posted March 23, 2004 Hi everybody, I'm trying to use SplashImageOn() with an animated gif to show a kind of 'please wait' message to the user. I've got an animated gif thats 200w, 100h, approx. 12 frames and is around 300kb. When I call SplashImageOn() the first image is displayed but the rest of my frames are not displayed. Does anyone know how to animate my gif? I tried several other animated gif but there was no animation... -Raider
Helge Posted March 23, 2004 Posted March 23, 2004 I don't think it's possible to use animated gifs with SplashImage.. If you need a animation, then I think the only thing you can do is to have a lot of images and change them on SplashImage... Not so fancy though..
Raider Posted March 23, 2004 Author Posted March 23, 2004 Hmmm I already tried that and 1. It flickers 2. It's too CPU intensive... I want to display an animated 'please wait' screen to the user and I think it's not good when the animation is using more CPU-Power then the operation I want the user to wait for
scriptkitty Posted March 23, 2004 Posted March 23, 2004 You can always try my little HTML function. Not quite the same but animations, javascript, and any html language is fine. this example copies the clipboard to the window: AutoItSetOption("TrayIconDebug", 1) AutoItSetOption("WinTitleMatchMode", 2) $file="temp.htm" $color="#FFFFFF" $title="My AutoIt3 Html" If FileWriteLine($file, "<title>"&$title&"</title>")=0 Then exit FileWriteLine($file, "<body bgcolor="& $color &"><font size=-2>" ) If StringInStr(" "&clipget(),"<br>")>0 Then FileWriteLine($file, clipget() ) Else FileWriteLine($file, StringReplace(clipget(),@CRLF,"<br>") ) EndIf FileWriteLine($file, "<br><center><a href=close()>close</a>" ) Run('C:\Program Files\Internet Explorer\IEXPLORE.EXE -k '& @ScriptDir &'\'&$file,'',@SW_HIDE) WinWait ( $title, "") WinMove ( $title, "", 10, 10, 400, 400) WinShow ($title, "", @SW_RESTORE) While winexists($title) sleep(10) Wend winclose($title) winclose("Cannot find server") FileDelete($file) AutoIt3, the MACGYVER Pocket Knife for computers.
Raider Posted March 23, 2004 Author Posted March 23, 2004 Thats works fine, thanks It's a litte more work and needs some adjustment for some special cases but it's great, thanks.
