No, not directly. We do have an animation control that can automate the animation of a picture ring. You would have to load the pictures into the ring as bitmaps programmatically or in the UI editor though. It can't load an animated GIF. If you have an animated GIF editor, save the frames off as bitmaps and load them into a picture ring. There is an example in cvi\samples\userint\custctrl\animate.
