[DUG] TAnimtate

[Robert martin]

Ok you go me.  I think I stopped at the help stuff :) 

And I always complain about our users not reading the Docs !!


Anyway adding the TShellResources component kind of fixes the problem.  
It now shows the findfolder animation but it doesn't play.  i.e. it 
seems to sit on the first frame.

I am using the following code to play it.

Animate.Play(0, Animate.FrameCount, 0);

Is there something else I am missing?

To work around this problem, select Allow this program when the Windows Live OneCare Firewall appears, then exit and restart registration. Do not select Block this program, because doing so will prevent you from registering afterward.

Windows Vista no longer contains backwards compatible shell animations, and the TShellResources component adds the following replacement animation resources to your executable:
