Title: Graphical Indicator with Animated GIF image?
Post by: joko markono on February 14, 2020, 02:12:45 AM

Hello Guys,

I want to know if this control will work with animated GIF image (if i set the image on address value 1 and 2)?
this is the previous topic:

The GraphicIndicator does not animate Gifs. The latest Beta version does have a GifAnimator control

Understand. It's better if the GifAnimator can have 2 addresses for 2 different scenarios. For example for fan rotation cw and ccw.

It does not mean you must see it really rotate cw or ccw. I can use color to differentiate it while it is still animating. And it is not just for fan only.  I'm just suggesting so that the GifAnimator can have many input addresses as what GraphicIndicator can do. It's nothing wrong.

As for the fan control that has both CW and CCW direction, you could try using this control:
