how can I do animation on ToggleButton

[Mark Brown]

I want to add animation gif to toggle button. Is it possible?

Hello Mark Brown,

Thank you for writing.

You could add a image (animated gif) to RadToogleButton using the Image property.

radToggleButton1.Image = Image.FromFile(@"..\MyImage.gif");

Maybe you will need additional functionality to change the Image when the ToggleState changes.
To do this you should subscribe for the ToggleStateChanging event and use the code below.

private void radToggleButton6_ToggleStateChanging(object sender, Telerik.WinControls.UI.StateChangingEventArgs args)
{
            if (!radToggleButton1.IsChecked)
            {
                    radToggleButton1.Image = Image.FromFile(@"..\OnImage.gif");
            }
            else
            {
                    radToggleButton1.Image = Image.FromFile(@"..\OffImage.gif");          
            }
}

I hope this helps.

Best wishes,
Peter

System.Reflection.

Assembly thisExe = System.Reflection.Assembly.GetExecutingAssembly();

System.IO.

Stream file = thisExe.GetManifestResourceStream("WindowsApplication1.img.loading.gif");

radToggleButton1.Image =

Image.FromStream(file);


not animated :(

Hi Mark Brown,

Sorry for misunderstanding.

The animated GIF functionality is not supported in the version of our product you are using. Animated GIF support was added in RadControls for Winforms Q3 2007. Please use this version of our controls to take advantage of this functionliaty.

Please let us know if you have any additional questions.

Sincerely yours,
Peter

Hi.

I have the following

public class SearchButton : RadButton

{

public SearchButton() 

{

this.AutoSize = false;

this.Image = gobal::test.Properties.Resources.search;

this.Size = new System.Drawing.Size(75, 23);

this.ImageAlignment = System.Drawing.ContentAlignment.MiddleCenter;

}

public void Wait()

{

// waiting is an animated gif

this.Image = gobal::test.Properties.Resources.waiting;

this.Invalidate(true);

}

public void Reset()

{

this.Image = gobal::test.Properties.Resources.search;

this.Invalidate(true);

}

}

When I set the waiting animated gif it does work the first time, then I reset it to a non animated gif, the second time I set the image to the animated gif it animates for a brief moment and it stops. And it never plays again.

Any ideas?
