GIF support for TIpHtmlPanel
« on: June 18, 2013, 10:15:46 pm »
Hello again  :)

Is it possible to enable GIF support in the TIpHtmlPanel component? Sorry, if this question is already answered, but I haven't found anything about this...

Reason: I construct a HTML script in memory with gif images and it would be great when the gifs are animated.

Have you looked at the source code? Is there e.g. a compiler define there that enables GIF images?

Gif support is disabled because it depends on external libraries.  You need to get one of those libraries (Anders GIF or "ImageLib ILWebImage", the sources seems to indicate the latter is needed for animated) and port them to lazarus, and reenable their support in ipdefine.inc, and then recompile the component.

IIRC Anders GIF had an unclear license, and I don't know Imagelib ILWebImage

I checked SVN logs, and seems nobody worked on something gif related for years.
