LaVolpe Animated GIF Control

Not your ordinary GIF viewer. Recognizes encoded animation loops, allows you to modify settings on the fly. With little effort, you can make the control appear transparent (screenshot), force transparency on non-transparent GIFs, skip frames, shift frames & a host of other options. A little unique in the fact that it does not use arrays of pictures, nor does it write the frames to a file. Putting this one on the backshelf for a couple months unless someone finds a serious bug or proposes a super idea/suggestion for improvement. Download the included GIFs into the same folder. You can get rid of them later, but project won't run without them. Last Updated: 11 Apr/14:35. Added cropping option to control & 2 more examples on the Test project. Tweaked ShowFrame routine. 12 Apr/10:40 Tweaked GetCustomBkgDC so users don't need to remember to stop animation b4 updating custom background to avoid leaks. Added BorderWidth & BorderHeight read only properties.
