Creates an Animation control in the current active form, window, or dialog.
AnimateCtrl text$, id%, x, y, w, h[, style%]
text$:control text
id%:control identifier
x,y,w,h:iexp
style%:the control styles
The AnimateCtrl control allows you to create buttons which display animations, such as .avi files, when clicked. The control can play only AVI files that have no sound. In addition, the Animation control can display only uncompressed .avi files or .avi files that have been compressed using Run-Length Encoding (RLE).
An example of this control is the file copy progress bar in Windows 95, which uses an AnimateCtrl control. Pieces of paper "fly" from one folder to another while the copy operation executes.
style Specifies the styles of the control.
Creates a control without an OCX wrapper; so it and cannot be handled using properties, methods, and event subs. When used in a form the WM_COMMAND and WM_NOTIFY messages should be handled in the form's _Message event sub.
This command is particular useful for a dialog box in a GLL, because a GLL doesn't support OCX controls.
With the general Control statement any control type can be created.
