CAnimateCtrl::CAnimateCtrl

Constructs a CAnimateCtrl object.

CAnimateCtrl( );

Remarks

You must call the Create member function before you can perform any other operations on the object you create.

Example

// This example creates a secondary thread that implements 
// the methods of CAnimateCtrl. The procedure of the thread 
// is MyClipThreadProc and the thread was created with the 
// code AfxBeginThread( MyClipThreadProc, (LPVOID) pParentWnd). 
// The example code creates and initializes an animation control, 
// then proceeds to pump messages from the queue until one the  
// private messages WM_STOPCLIP, WM_PLAYCLIP, WM_SHOWFIRSTFRAME or  
// WM_SHOWLASTFRAME is received. The appropriate action is done for 
// these messages. The thread ends when the WM_STOPCLIP is received. 
// NOTE: the thread parameter, pParam, is a pointer to a CWnd object 
// that will be the parent of the animation control. 

#define WM_STOPCLIP               WM_USER+1
#define WM_PLAYCLIP               WM_USER+2
#define WM_SHOWFIRSTFRAME         WM_USER+3
#define WM_SHOWLASTFRAME         WM_USER+4

UINT MyClipThreadProc(LPVOID pParam)
{
   // NOTE: pParentWnd is the parent window of the animation control.
   CWnd* pParentWnd = (CWnd*) pParam;
   CAnimateCtrl cAnimCtrl;

   // Create the animation control. 
   if (!cAnimCtrl.Create(WS_CHILD|WS_VISIBLE|ACS_CENTER, 
      CRect(10,10,100,100), pParentWnd, 1))
   {
      return false;
   }

   // Open the AVI file. 
   if (!cAnimCtrl.Open(_T("MyAvi.avi")))
   {
      return false;
   }

   // Pump message from the queue until the stop play message is received.
   MSG msg;
   while (GetMessage(&msg, NULL, 0, 0) && (msg.message != WM_STOPCLIP))
   {
      switch (msg.message)
      {
         // Start playing from the first frame to the last,  
         // continuously repeating. 
         case WM_PLAYCLIP:
            if (!cAnimCtrl.Play(0, (UINT)-1, (UINT)-1))
               return false;
            break;

         // Show the first frame. 
         case WM_SHOWFIRSTFRAME:
            if (!cAnimCtrl.Seek(0))
               return false;
            cAnimCtrl.RedrawWindow();
            break;

         // Show the last frame. 
         case WM_SHOWLASTFRAME:
            if (!cAnimCtrl.Seek((UINT)-1))
               return false;
            cAnimCtrl.RedrawWindow();
            break;
      }

      TranslateMessage(&msg);
      DispatchMessage(&msg);
   }

   cAnimCtrl.Stop();
   cAnimCtrl.Close();
