If you want to show/hide a gif image, you can change the image of a control (by customizing the control) and make it visible of invisible. See attached VI. See <a href="http://forums.ni.com/ni/board/message?board.id=170&amp;message.id=35101&amp;query.id=75331#M35101" target="_blank">link</a> to know how to customize a Boolean control.

I never found a method to CONTROL gif's.
In <a href="http://forums.ni.com/ni/board/message?board.id=BreakPoint&amp;view=by_date_ascending&amp;message.id=4672#M4672" target="_blank">post #94 of this thread </a>I posted some code that was a community project to allow easy inclusion of emoticons into forum postings. It has a an Import function that lets you grab images from gif's and adds them to a palette from which you can choose your emoticon. You may wat to review that thread for the code and the associated instructions since I beleive some of the techniques I used in that code code be of use to you.
Take a look at the code that does the Import.
