Example

The following example will create an animation, and play it continuously
until the user aborts or closes the program.
The program uses DoEvents to allow the user to stop animation.

L_INT LAnimationWindow_PlayAnimationExample(HWND hWndParent) 
{ 
   L_INT nRet; 
 
   LBase::LoadLibraries(LT_ALL_LEADLIB);  
   //make sure all libraries are loaded 
 
   LAnimationWindow MyAnimation; 
 
   //Set auto loop to TRUE  
 
   MyAnimation.EnableLoop(); 
 
   MyAnimation.SetFileName(MAKE_IMAGE_PATH(TEXT("eye.gif"))); 
    
   nRet = MyAnimation.Load(); 
   if (nRet!=SUCCESS) 
 
   { 
      MessageBox(hWndParent, TEXT("Error loading file!"),TEXT("Sample"), MB_OK|MB_ICONSTOP); 
      return nRet; 
   } 
 
   MyAnimation.CreateWnd(hWndParent,0, WS_VISIBLE|WS_CHILD|WS_BORDER,0,0,300,300); 
 
 
 
   nRet = MyAnimation.PlayAnimation(); 
   if(nRet != SUCCESS) 
      return nRet; 
 
   while (MyAnimation.IsPlaying()) 
 
   { 
 
      L_BOOL bCanceled; 
 
 
 
      L_BOOL bQuit = MyAnimation.DoEvents(&bCanceled); 
 
 
 
      if (bCanceled || bQuit) 
 
      { 
 
         MyAnimation.StopAnimation(); 
 
         break; 
 
      } 
 
   } 
 
   return SUCCESS;
