Hi,
I have an animated GIF that I set to do 1 loop. Works fine in in apps like
the quicktime player and the windows picture viewer. But when I use it as a
GIF in a picture window it loops and loops and loops and loops.
Since the GIF seems OK in other apps, is there something I am missing about
the picturebox in VB?
FWIW - Happens in VB 2003 and VBExpress.

You could try to animate the GIF animation using the 'ImageAnimator' class.
