animated gif not animating in all rows of grid

Question

Dear experts,

I have placed animated gif into an image control in a column of grid.

Column's spares property is set to .F.

When I run the forn all rows don't animate at a time.

why?

Answer 1

Because only one row is real at a time. I've never tried anything like that, but I'm not surprised.

Answer 2

Yes sir,
Thank you for the reply.
I agree with you.

I want a way around. So, I decided to display it in a html table rather than grid.

But I want to run a FoxPro program when the user clicks on a table row and pass the text of the hyperlink to that program as an argument.

Can I do this in VFP?

 

Answer 3

Hi Ravindra,

what does an animated gif do for a user? It shows that somethings happening where the programmer isn't sure, how long it will last. So, showing an anigif in a grid makes nothing but lots of blinking, moving, or any other senseless action that doesn't keep any kind of helpful information for your user.

Why don't you use a regular textbox that is bound to a char field of your cursor/table that is updated by a timer with individual textinfos or values. That way each row will show the current workstate and your users can see whats going on.

Do you mean to run external EXE from a webpage click? Simply set the hyperlink to the EXE but you should avoid this danger way of EXE activation. 

Did you ask this question on another forum already? It does not seem to be VFP related... Try this: http://stackoverflow.com/questions/2815982/how-do-i-make-a-hyperlink-to-a-local-executable
