If you are going to add your animated gif to VB:
select the Microsoft Internet Controls
component. When you do, the WebBrowser control appears on Visual
Basic's toolbar. Drop the control onto a form, then in the form's
Load() event place the following code:
WebBrowser1.Navigate "C:Internetanim.gif"
you can turn this scrollbar off :
WebBrowser1.Navigate "about
:<html><body scroll='no'><img src='C:Internetanim.gif'></img></body></html>"
