SysAni.

Feature list plays Windows' standard animations plays your own avi files allows you to link avi files into your Exe/Dll uses "real" threads (of the Win32 system) Comes with legacy and ABC templates supports Clarion 5, 5.5 and 6.0 low pricing: only 29,- US$

You'll most probably know the animations the system plays during long activities (for example copying large files from the explorer). Didn't you already want to display such animations within your Clarion applications? With SysAni you can do that and much more. In addition to those animations that the system offers you can display your own AVI files!

The standard Clarion image control can play animated gifs, but sometimes the results are poor, especially with transparent animations. Also, the display gets stuck when the system is under heavy activity.

SysAni uses the system's built in animation control and so runs in its own thread (a "real" windows thread, not SoftVelocity's own implementation in Clarion), and therefore keeps showing where the image control doesn't.

You might call that useless, but your end users will like it. You can spend hours telling them how hard you worked to get problem xxx solved, that it's not possible to do yyy. Believe me, most of them don't understand (do they have to?). Simply let some nice little animations cheer them up!

Screenshots

(OK - I have to agree that static images don't quite show the features of an animation control - but why don't you download the demo instead of complaining?)
