TdxCustomSmartImage.StartAnimation Method

Initiates or resumes the animation of the stored GIF image.

Declaration

procedure StartAnimation;

Remarks

Call this procedure to either start or resume the paused GIF image animation playback (i.e., consecutive rendering of image frames). To stop the GIF animation playback at the currently displayed frame, call the StopAnimation procedure.

The number of animation loops set for the stored GIF image playback is determined by the AnimationLoop and AnimationLoopCount property values. If the number of animation loops is limited, you can track the number of played loops and/or change the number of loops left for the animation before it stops by using the AnimationLoopIndex property.

Note

Alternatively, you can use the Animation property to control the GIF animation playback.
