LAnimationWindow::IsValidAnimation

#include "ltwrappr.h"

L_BOOL LAnimationWindow::IsValidAnimation() const

Determines whether the LAnimationWindow object is valid.

Returns

Value	Meaning
TRUE	The LAnimationWindow object is valid.
FALSE	The LAnimationWindow object is not valid.

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 file. If the file contains more than one page, the function will return TRUE.
