Embed Gif in ToolTip

Speed_CAD — Wed, 31 Jan 2024 18:37:00 GMT

Hello everyone,

Before creating this custom class, I searched everywhere for an example of how to embed an animated gif in a tooltip for a button in Revit. I looked at Jeremy's example, but it seems that using a gif is not possible, and I don't like the idea of hosting a video at a URL. Anyway, if anyone has found any examples, please let me know.

For this reason, I developed a small DLL that allows adding a static image or an animated gif to a tooltip. If anyone is interested in using or testing this class, you can download the DLL from the following link:

I hope this tool is useful!
