' PRB: Using Animation Resources with the Animation Control

' PSS ID Number: Q149688

' The information in this article applies to:

' - Microsoft Win32s version 1.3
' ----------------------------------------------------------------------
'
' SYMPTOMS
' ========
'
' When sending the ACM_OPEN message to an animation control, you have the
' option of using an ANI file or an ANI resource. When you specify a
' resource, you cannot specify which module to load that resource from.
'
' CAUSE
' =====
'
' When loading an animation resource, the control uses the hInstance that it
' was created with (the hInstance passed to CreateWindow, DialogBox, or
' CreateDialog).
'
' RESOLUTION
' ==========
'
' Use an animation file or store the animation resource in the same module
' from which the animation control was created. One other alternative, which
' is probably not a good idea, is to retrieve the resource by using
' FindResource, LoadResource, and LockResource, and then save that to a
' temporary animation file. The drawback to this method is that you need to
' make sure that the temporary file is deleted.
'
' STATUS
' ======
'
' This behavior is by design.
