Multi-frame Images

Some image files can contain multiple images (also called frames), which can be used to:

  • Create animation (normally, the case of animated GIF images), when only one of the frames is displayed at a time. Refer to the “Animated GIF” section of the GIF online article at https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/GIF#Animated_GIF to learn about these images.

  • Represent multiple pages using multi-page (also called multi-frame) TIFF images. To learn about these images, refer to the “Tagged Image File Format” section of the GIF online article at https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tagged_Image_File_Format.

The current version of DevExpress controls provides support for both of the above image formats. Use the TcxImageCollection, TcxImage, TcxDBImage, or TdxImageSlider control to store and display multi-frame images.
