LAnimationWindow::IsValidAnimation

#include "ltwrappr.h"

L_BOOL LAnimationWindow::IsValidAnimation(L_VOID) const

Determines whether the LAnimationWindow object is valid.

Returns

Comments

Before you can use any of the animation playback functions, a valid LBitmapList object must be associated with the class object. Until you have associated a bitmap list with the LAnimationWindow object, the object is considered invalid.

You can associate a bitmap list with the LAnimationWindow object using the constructor(LAnimationWindow::LAnimationWindow), LAnimationWindow::SetBitmapList, or LAnimationWindow::Load.

Note: This function also determines whether the current file is an animated GIF or AVI file. If the file contains more than one page, the function will return TRUE.
