Failures in image.c???

[Benguy]

Thanks for your replies once again,
unfortunately the company I work for is still deciding whether or not to
give me a full development version of LabView, so I still dont have access
to the picture tool kit, as at the moment I am limited to the basic package
(and yes that is something I'm working to change). As far as I can see, picture
listboxes are the only way I can build animations, and they cause LabView
to crash. If I get access to a development license, I will try out your ideas
and post again, but at the moment I still hope (somehow) to get the picture
listbox to work.

Other tricks (might show flicker)

Make an array of your picture ring; show only one element;set the array to
the sequence 0,1,2,3,4... To animate, set the array attribute node "Index
Value". Might not solve the problem but worth a try...

Paste your pict in booleans packed at the same position on screen and make
them visible/invisible in sequence.

Best luck...

I have heard of a similar pict ring problem that occurs on Win 9? machine
and works fine on a Win NT machine. Might be OS related... or the machine.

However as a workaround I would try some other LV technique to display your
animation, before trying ActiveX.
What about a picture control? You can convert your images to picture control
data type and display them in a picture control.

Best luck.

rs really, I've tried it on 3 different machines with an ATi Rage
