Example

#include "ltlck.h" //Unlock support

L_VOID TestFunction(HWND hWndParent)
{
   LBase::LoadLibraries(LT_ALL_LEADLIB); //make sure all libraries are loaded
   WRPUNLOCKSUPPORT(); //unlock GIF support

   LAnimationWindow MyAnimation;
   L_INT nRetCode;

   //Set auto animate to TRUE so we don't need to call PlayAnimation
   MyAnimation.EnableAutoAnimate(TRUE);

   //create the control's window
   MyAnimation.CreateWnd(hWndParent,0, WS_VISIBLE|WS_CHILD|WS_BORDER,0,0,300,300);

   //load eye.gif
   MyAnimation.SetFileName(TEXT("eye.gif"));
   nRetCode = MyAnimation.Load(); //this will invoke PlayAnimation directly

   if (nRetCode!=SUCCESS)
   {
      MessageBox(hWndParent, TEXT("Failed to load file"),TEXT("Error!"),MB_OK | MB_ICONSTOP);
      return;
   }
