# AnimatedGifElement

This element will display an animated GIF and keep it looping.

The file is addressed the same way as in [ImageElement](/dbnetsoft/screenspro/controls/imageelement.md): `Filename` is either a full path or a filename relative to the current XAML layout.

## Properties

| Name               | Type   | Description                                                                    |
| ------------------ | ------ | ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ |
| `Filename`         | String | Either a full path to a GIF or a filename relative to the current XAML layout. |
| `Path`             | String | The path to the file in case `Filename` is a relative path.                    |
| `Extension`        | String | The extension used when `Filename` does not contain one. Default `.gif`.       |
| `AbsoluteFilename` | String | Read-only. The full path the three properties above resolve to.                |

When the resolved file does not exist, an error is written to the log and nothing is displayed.
