How to use GIF in RadGridView

[Sergey]

Hello,

I'm trying to implement GIF for my GridView but it isn't animated. Does GridView support GIFs?

My example:

<Window
        xmlns="http://schemas.microsoft.com/winfx/2006/xaml/presentation"
        xmlns:x="http://schemas.microsoft.com/winfx/2006/xaml"
        xmlns:d="http://schemas.microsoft.com/expression/blend/2008"
        xmlns:mc="http://schemas.openxmlformats.org/markup-compatibility/2006"
        xmlns:local="clr-namespace:NotWorkingGif"
        xmlns:telerik="http://schemas.telerik.com/2008/xaml/presentation" x:Class="NotWorkingGif.MainWindow"
        mc:Ignorable="d"
        DataContext="{Binding RelativeSource={RelativeSource Self}}"
        Title="MainWindow" Height="450" Width="800">
    <Grid>
        <telerik:RadGridView ItemsSource="{Binding Collection}" AutoGenerateColumns="False">
            <telerik:RadGridView.Columns>
                <telerik:GridViewImageColumn DataMemberBinding="{Binding ImageUri}" Header="" ImageStretch="None" ImageHeight="16" ImageWidth="16" />
            </telerik:RadGridView.Columns>
        </telerik:RadGridView>
    </Grid>
</Window>

namespace NotWorkingGif
{
    using System;
    using System.Collections.ObjectModel;
    using System.ComponentModel;
    using System.Windows;

    /// <summary>
    /// Interaction logic for MainWindow.xaml
    /// </summary>
    public partial class MainWindow : Window
    {
        public ObservableCollection<TestClass> Collection { get; set; } = new ObservableCollection<TestClass>();

        public MainWindow()
        {
            InitializeComponent();

            this.Collection.Add(new TestClass() { ImageUri = new Uri(@"path to GIF image") });
        }
    }

    public class TestClass : INotifyPropertyChanged
    {
        private Uri imageUri;
        public Uri ImageUri
        {
            get => imageUri;

            set
            {
                imageUri = value;
                this.PropertyChanged?.Invoke(this, new PropertyChangedEventArgs("ImageUri"));
            }
        }

        public event PropertyChangedEventHandler PropertyChanged;
    }
}

Hello Sergey,

Even though the RadGridView control does not provide support for GIF images out of the box, you can use one of the approaches suggested in this thread to display animated images in your columns by using their CellTemplate property or probably creating your own custom GIF column.

For your convenience, I've prepared a small sample project which uses the WpfAnimatedGif library.

Please have a look and let me know whether this, or any of the other proposed solutions would work for you.
