I'd like to get the hdc of an animation in order to bitblt the first frame to a
picture control. Any reason why control.AnimWindow doesn't seem to work?

Tim, I have been screwing around with aaPlay.vbx. What I have been
dong is saving the first frame as a BMP file using the Video editor
that came with Video For Windows. I just load it into a hidden
picture control then use in with bitblt. Let me know if you find a
solution. Andrew
If there is a aaplay.dll method to getting the hdc I could deal with
that.
There's something in aa_getparm called aa_window that returns a word
containing the handle of the window that owns the animation.
VBPlay.vbx has a property called AnimWindow that returns a data type
integer that contains the handle of the window in which the animation
is being displayed.
Are these the same?
I won't know the animation at design time (writing flic screen saver)
so I can't edit the flic.
