Within the control tag one can assign a variety of controls including how long to display the next image, if the image should be off-set from the (0,0) top left corner, if one of the colors is transparent, and a bunch of other stuff.

Pls note that "Icon Animation Sample" is not exactly what u r looking for...
For animated gif, one way is to use web browser control.. (I'm not sure abt. vfp6)
Other option is to use some activex controls..
