Hi all Is it possible to use Animated-GIF’s in NF 2.01B? If yes - how? Thanks Benjamin Crause webmaster@amargosasun.de Germany
The shrinkwrapped Navision package only supports one graphic format: Windows bitmaps (.BMP). That’s what (for example) the main menu uses to show the Navision logo when you haven’t selected a secondary menu yet. You could probably use an external program to play the animated GIF files. There are several ways of doing this, all of them complicated— and I will let someone else explain how to do this! ------- Tim Horrigan
Starting an external program to view the animated GIF is as easy as: hyperlink(‘myGif.gif’); You just have to make sure that the .gif extension is linked to a program which is able to show animated gifs. What you can definitely NOT do is to include the GIF in a form (like a .bmp on the Item card). Even with an OCX this is impossible as Navision only supports non-visual OCX’s Marcus Marcus Fabian phone: +41 79 4397872 m.fabian@thenet.ch
