I'm trying to display a GIF. However, the GUI should not be visible. Here is an attempt that doesn't work:
$sGIF = "MyGIF.gif" #Include <IE.au3> #include <GUIConstantsEx.au3> #include <WindowsConstants.au3> #include <WINAPI.au3> #include <SendMessage.au3> Global Const $SC_DRAGMOVE = 0xF012 HotKeySet("{ESC}", "_Exit") $hGui = GUICreate("Test", 400, 300, -1, -1, $WS_POPUP, $WS_EX_LAYERED) GUISetBkColor(0xABCDEF) $oIE = _IECreateEmbedded() GUICtrlCreateObj($oIE, 10, 10, 380, 280) _WinAPI_SetLayeredWindowAttributes($hGUI, 0xABCDEF, 250) _IENavigate($oIE, $sGIF) GUISetState() While 1 Switch GUIGetMsg() Case $GUI_EVENT_PRIMARYDOWN _SendMessage($hGUI, $WM_SYSCOMMAND, $SC_DRAGMOVE, 0) EndSwitch WEnd Func _Exit() Exit

Convert an animated Gif to an Avi file for use with GUICtrlCreateAvi function.
 

An other tool for AutoIt Coders :
Gif2Avi permit to convert an animated Gif to an Avi file for use with the (rarely used) GUICtrlCreateAvi function.
Use an Avi file as loader or animation in a script (see StringFinder for example) is easier than use an animated gif.
With this little tool you can also :
_ Set the AVI file dimensions ( height will follow width changes for preserve ratio W/H )
_ Change FPS (frames per second) 
_ Try an other background color ( used in _GDIPlus_BitmapCreateHBITMAPFromBitmap function)
_ Crop width and height (From the original dimension)

Thanks to monoceres, Prog@ndy and UEZ for AVI functions.
Source and compiled Version are available in the Download Section.
May be the "GUICtrlCreateAvi" function will be a bit more used !
