Using Animation Controls to play a avi file in a dialog
Gurus,
i need to play an avi file in a dialog (not using MFC).
i have to use the API's Animate_Create, Animate_Open
and Animate_Play.
i have tried the article "creating an animation control" in msdn
http://msdn.microsoft.com/library/default.asp?url=/library/en-us/shellcc/platform/commctls/animation/animationoverview.asp
but could not get it worked.
if any of u can provide me links on how to do this , it would be helpful.

Did you pay attention to the following information at the MSDN
An animation control can display an AVI clip originating from either an uncompressed AVI file or from an AVI file that was compressed using run-length (BI_RLE8) encoding.
# 3 Re: Using Animation Controls to play a avi file in a dialog
This is what i tried.
InitCommonControls();
HWND hwndAnim = Animate_Create(m_hWnd ,IDC_ANIMATE,WS_BORDER | WS_CHILD, NULL);
Animate_Open(hwndAnim,"1.avi");
Animate_Play(hwndAnim,0,-1,3);
Thanks
# 4 Re: Using Animation Controls to play a avi file in a dialog
Did you check which function/or macro return an indication of a failure? For example, does Animate_Open return TRUE or FALSE?
# 5 Re: Using Animation Controls to play a avi file in a dialog
none of the functions failed. but the animation never showed up.
can u provide me with some sample code which i can look into.
# 6 Re: Using Animation Controls to play a avi file in a dialog
You probably missed to make the animation control visible.
Try this:
HWND hwndAnim = Animate_Create(. . ., WS_BORDER | WS_CHILD | WS_VISIBLE, . . .);
Hope it helps.
