animated gif - how to?

Hey there,
did anyone ever succeed in showing an animated .gif in a Label or other usercontrol?
Does anyone have an idea how to do that?

Dani

Edit:
I just found this post stating that a PictureBox does what I am looking for. My PictureBox does not play the animated .gif above! Is there any special format/ framerate, etc. required?

Edit2:
Hey, and don't tell me to use the progressbar!!

Ypu need to use a Java-way in this case, too.

If your gif is called "loading.gif", then load it to your resources and create a Usercontrol with

Jabaco Source

Public Sub Usercontrol_Initialize()
   Dim myIcon As javax#swing#ImageIcon
   myIcon = New javax#swing#ImageIcon(getClass.getResource("res/loading.gif"))
   Dim myPic As javax#swing#JLabel = New javax#swing#JLabel(myIcon)
   myPic.setBounds(0,0,105,16)
   Me.add(myPic)
End Sub

In the uploaded file I have already done it.

Thanks again theuserbl,

very nice example. Opened my eyes about a couple of other issues as well!!
It is not that easy to allways come up with the according java syntax.
Still I am glad Jabaco is this flexible.

Um den Bogen noch etwas weiter zu spannen:

How would I add an image (not animated) to a JBgrid cell?

Thank You,

I experimented a little bit with this. Thanks to you inspiration a came up with a direct way.
SamplePng needs to be present in your '/Res' directory.

Jabaco Source

Public Sub Form_Load()
   JBGrid1.Cols = 2
   JBGrid1.Rows = 2
 
   JBGrid1.Header(0) = "Pictures"

   'needs to be adressed
   JBGrid1.TextMatrix(0, 0) = ""
   JBGrid1.DataMatrix(0,0).Icon = SamplePng
   
   JBGrid1.Parent.setRowHeight(80)

End Sub

I was also looking at:

	Jabaco Source
1 2	JBGrid1.Editable = jbEditOnClick JBGrid1.ComboList = "Hallo"

but I can not add more than one item to the cbo list and it appears in every cell of the JBGrid1.

Other issues with the JBGrid would be invoking a checkbox, the JBGrid1.CellButton and maybe a colSortIndicator in the header (independent from autosort!). I did not look at those yet though.
