I have an event that gets called when my app uses the internet. The event changes an animated gif composed of 7 frames. How do I make it only loop through the frames only once?
private void trafficSendingActive(object sender, trafficEventArgs e)
{
txImage.Image = Properties.Resources.blip;
}
You could use the System.Drawing.ImageAnimator
to start/stop the gif animation
// start
System.Drawing.ImageAnimator.Animate(txImage.Image, OnFrameChanged);
// stop
System.Drawing.ImageAnimator.StopAnimate(txImage.Image, OnFrameChanged);
private void OnFrameChanged(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
// frame change
}
You could always encapsulate the image/gif inside a Picturebox, and when you want the gif to stop, just set the Enabled property of the Picturebox to false.
Just a thought.
You can extract single frame from that GIF
image (non - animated) when the progress event is done,
txImage.Image = Image.FormFile("non-animated-frame-from-gif.jpg");
You can use this website to extract frame from gif : http://gif-explode.com/
You can just use pictureBox.Enabled = false;
if you want to stop the GIF & pictureBox.Enabled = true;
when you want it to run the GIF.
