The other way I would do it but it may take longer is to write a GIF wrapper class. You need to content with the header and however many pages it contains and you would need to write a pixel at a time for each image. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Graphics_Interchange_Format http://bloggingabout.net/blogs/rick/archive/2005/05/10/3830.aspx

I apologize chen didn't understand your question it shouldn't be hard: This should work automatically pictureBox1.Image = Image .FromFile( C:/cartoon.gif ); Manually it would look something like this Image gifImage = Image .FromFile(path); FrameDimension dimension = new FrameDimension (gifImage.FrameDimensionsList[0]); int frameCount = gifImage.GetFrameCount(dimension); gifImage.SelectActiveFrame(dimension index); Check this out http://www.vcskicks.com/csharp_animated_gif.php if you have more questions .

thanks very much. 1.the language i use is c#. 2.i have realized the function that display the gif picture by drawing the screen directly. 3.But now i want to realize the function in the platform of wince.i have used picturebox control but it can display only one frame. so can you have another suggestions for me to solve the problem.

I am not sure what language you are using chen but in C# you could use a picturebox or load the image using the Bitmap class FromFile function. In c++ there is a gdi header for MFC.
