  Introduction
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!
