<section id="GUID-6F2D66DB-B099-4D4F-8F98-720B4A67C24A"><title>Description</title> <p>This example is a UI application, which demonstrates how to create

and play basic and sprite animations. It implements all the standard

classes required by any application using UI controls such as an application,

a document, an application UI and a view. </p> <p>The application

animation. It also provides UI controls to control the behavior of

an animation such as, start, stop, pause, resume and move. </p> <p>The application plays an animated <filepath>.gif</filepath> file

both as a basic client-side animation and a server-side sprite animation.

It performs the following tasks in the order they are listed to create

the basic and sprite animations: </p> <ol id="GUID-5860A908-A761-5431-AB6E-EEBE4D7CF0FE">

<li id="GUID-33C9AD3D-8067-5A28-8C83-38A97C03C549"><p>Creates an object

<li id="GUID-87DA4E47-1D76-5C16-BE0F-3F64AC00063B"><p>Loads the animated <filepath>.gif</filepath> file into the object. </p> </li>

<li id="GUID-86DA1F4B-A2BA-56FD-B06E-8F369572B320"><p>Configures the

animation to play in an infinite loop using <xref href="GUID-7B02B3D6-D460-3274-8CE6-839549E6EFD3.dita"><apiname>TAnimationConfig</apiname></xref>. </p> </li>

<li id="GUID-5568FAA9-8C74-5828-8AC9-1325C1AE16F0"><p>Starts animations

</ol> <p>Once both the animations are started, the window server will

automatically draw the animations onto the window by calling the <codeph>Draw()</codeph> method. </p> </section>

application.

Either launch the executable

or launch the emulator and then select the AnimExample application

from the Emulator's extras bar. </p> </section>
