richtext box emoticons:

I want to embed animated gif emoticons in richtextbox ([login to view URL] vb6 service pack 6) using rich text format(not using clipboard or ole) . I know of a few methods but that doesn't work for me .Perhaps using .textRtf=/something is best method (suggest more). call addtext("Hello :)"' ,&H00FFF8F3&) should show Hello + correspoding animated emoticon inserted in richtextbox in color There are some good codes for rtf on [login to view URL] ([[login to view URL]][1]) to get you an idea and inspiration,but I can't use that because of licensing problems and its heavy class size. You may suggest another control instead of [login to view URL] like yahoo msn icq . they aren't using rtf now. I am open to suggestions. ## Deliverables 1) Complete and fully-functional working program(s) in executable form as well as complete source code of all work done. 2) Deliverables must be in ready-to-run condition, as follows (depending on the nature of the deliverables): a) For web sites or other server-side deliverables intended to only ever exist in one place in the Buyer's environment--Deliverables must be installed by the Seller in ready-to-run condition in the Buyer's environment. b) For all others including desktop software or software the buyer intends to distribute: A software installation package that will install the software in ready-to-run condition on the platform(s) specified in this bid request. 3) All deliverables will be considered "work made for hire" under U.S. Copyright law.
