[Closed] Can I show an animated GIF in a MXS window?

(
	global rol_miauuInstaller
	--
	local lab_splashScreen
	local splashscreenGIF = @"D:\SplineDeformSplash.gif"

	function SetControlPosition posX posY = 
	(
		dotNetObject "System.Drawing.Point" posX posY
	)	
	function SetControlSize width height = 
	(
		dotNetObject "System.Drawing.Size" width height
	)
	function BuildRollout rol title: width: height:  =
	(		
		rol.text = title
		rol.ClientSize = SetControlSize width height      
		rol.StartPosition = rol.StartPosition.CenterScreen
		rol.AllowTransparency = true
		rol.ShowInTaskbar = true
	)
	
	function BuildLabel label posX: posY: width: height: txt: =
	(
		label.bounds=(dotNetObject "system.drawing.rectangle" posX posY width height)
	)	
	
	rol_miauuInstaller = dotnetobject "Form" 
	BuildRollout rol_miauuInstaller title:"animatedGif" width:432 height:180
	
	lab_splashScreen = dotNetObject "Label"
	BuildLabel lab_splashScreen posX:0 posY:0 width:432 height:150 txt:""
	lab_splashScreen.image = (dotNetclass "System.Drawing.Image").fromfile splashscreenGIF
	
	rol_miauuInstaller.Controls.AddRange #(lab_splashScreen)
	
	rol_miauuInstaller.topMost = true
	
	rol_miauuInstaller.Show()
	try(dotNet.setLifeTimeControl rol_miauuInstaller #dotNet)catch()
)

Thank you very much @miauu, this is spot on!
How can I prevent resize of the window?

Does it have to be dotNet? The windows overlays on top of everything, even when you minimize 3dsMax. I am wondering if maxscript did not support gif:s at all?

edit: can the dotNet window be merged inside a regular maxscript generated

I noticed there is HTML support in MaxScript.
The whole purpose for this question is to put a [?] button that leads you to an animated GIF that explains how the tool works. One GIF might say more than a thousand words, right?

This is how far I got (please see the attached files below)

FaceToElements.html (30 Bytes)

rollout img_rollout "Quick Manual" width:540 height:330
(
dotNetControl wb "System.Windows.Forms.WebBrowser" pos:[0,00] width:540 height:330

on img_rollout open do	(
	wb.navigate "C:\FaceToElements.html"
	
)
)
createdialog img_rollout

I would rather not have to bundle each GIF with an HTML file, if I don’t have to. Maybe Maxscript does support a predefined HTML code, eg instead of using an html-file, we could type in the html-code directly, like or if we must.

What do you think?

(
	global rol_
	try(destroyDialog rol_)catch()
	rollout rol_ "MaxRollout + Animated GIF"
	(
		local splashscreenGIF = @"D:\SplineDeformSplash.gif"
		
		dotNetControl dn_flp "flowlayoutpanel" height:241 width:432
		dotNetControl btn_LengthDistance "System.Windows.Forms.button" width:432 height:241
		
		on rol_ open do
		(
			btn_LengthDistance.margin =  dotnetobject "padding" 0
			btn_LengthDistance.FlatAppearance.BorderSize = 1
			btn_LengthDistance.flatstyle = (dotNetclass "FlatStyle").flat
			btn_LengthDistance.image = (dotNetclass "System.Drawing.Image").fromfile splashscreenGIF
			
			dn_flp.Controls.Clear()
			dn_flp.SuspendLayout()
			dn_flp.controls.addrange #(btn_LengthDistance)
			dn_flp.resumelayout()
		)
	)
	createdialog rol_ 	width:460 height:261
)

Thank you very much! Way better
