Nice example of ANI support.

No code version:

Code:

section '.rsrc' data resource readable

  directory \
    RT_DIALOG,dialogs,\
    RT_ANICURSOR,anicurs

  resource dialogs,\
    1,LANG_ENGLISH+SUBLANG_DEFAULT,anidlg

  resource anicurs,\
    123,LANG_NEUTRAL,anicur

  dialog anidlg,'ani demo',320,240,80,60,WS_CAPTION+WS_POPUP+WS_SYSMENU+DS_MODALFRAME
    dialogitem 'static','#123',1,0,0,0,0,WS_VISIBLE+SS_ICON
  enddialog

  resdata anicur
    file 'barber.ani'
  endres

... during load the "#{id}" will be searched for.

note that RT_ANIICON is apparently same as RT_ANICURSOR, even tho we dont have ani-icons files in Windows.

an .ani file can be set as window's icon as well, but it wont be animated, i.e. only the first frame will be put in window's caption.

if one dont want to associate ani-cursor id with controls, then LoadCursor or LoadImage should be used to manually load ani files.
