Animating an image

To animate the image displayed in the Image control, this image can be:
  • an animated image (animated Gif for example).
  • an image animated by WINDEV. In this case, the type of animation can be defined in the Image control description window ("Details" tab) or through programming with AnimationSetMode.
In a Button control, only an animated image can be associated with a button (Animated Gif, for example).
WindowsJava

Animating a text

To animate the text displayed in a Static control, you must choose the animation:
  • in the Static control description window ("Details" tab),
  • through programming with AnimationSetMode.
Windows

Animating a progress bar

In a progress bar, the animation is performed during an important variation of the value of progress bar: instead of being immediately positioned on the new value, the progress bar is incremented (or decremented) progressively to get an animation effect.
Remark: this effect is specifically adapted to the circular progress bars.

Miscellaneous

The animation is set to True by default.
