- Is there a way to embed animated GIF files into either the AniGif or enhanced AniGif controls? I would like to have the graphic files embedded into my compiled application so that I don't have to include the graphic files as separate entities.
Yes. Both ActiveX controls, support embedded graphics. For more information, please read the Filename property topic in each Help file.
By setting the Filename property of the control, at design time, the control stores a copy of the graphic internally, so it is not needed to be present when the application is compiled. The Filename property must be set to a valid full file path or a filename e.g "test.gif" if the file resides in the application's directory.

- I was wondering what the resolution is for the AniGif control.
AniGif and PictureBoxEx ActiveX controls display images at the current resolution of the screen, as they use DCs compatible with the Desktop. So they always use the best resolution the user can see.

- I tested AniGif ActiveX control on an animated GIF which had loops set to "1," but your control said "-1" (infinite?).
GIF's animation looping property was set in Jasc Animation Shop, v2.01.
Some applications return Loop = 1 if they do not find a specific Loop value set in the Gif file. According the GIF specifications, if the Loop is not set in the file, then it is considered = -1 which means "infinite". AniGif follows this order and loops them continuously in this case.

- I checked the GifLoops property of my animated file and it's 20. Is there a way I can lower this value?
Although the control returns how many times the animation will play in the GifLoops property, it is not advised to alter these properties of the file.
As this version of the control does not export the altered GIF file, the new value will be used only to display the loaded file with the new properties.
