When you draw an animated gif on a windows form it shows its static picture. When you place the animated gif in a picture box the picturebox will play the image. The datagridview only paints the data inside the cell. The only time a control is used is when the cell is edit mode.The best you could do is to create a custom column which plays the animated gif when the user selects the cell

I've gotten around the issue by animating the image myself using ImageAnimator.

This is of course a custom solution and not one suitable for more than 1 or 2 images but that's all I needed.

That's an interesting idea though, making an animated image column..

Could you please share your code for others with the same problem ?

Regards.
