How TextArea displays gif?

senmx

TextArea {
    id: ta
    smooth: true
    text: '<img src="qrc:/x.gif"/>'
    textFormat: Text.RichText
    selectionColor: "#3399FF"
    selectByMouse: true
    selectByKeyboard: true
    wrapMode: TextEdit.Wrap
}

Do I need to extend TextArea with C++ ?

Well... does it work? If yes, then you don't need to extend anything. If not - just use AnimatedImage.

@sierdzio I just want to use TextArea's ability to display html, If I use AnimatedImage, you need to process html and display gif at the same time.

Only a subset of HTML is supported - https://doc.qt.io/qt-5/richtext-html-subset.html.

If it does not work for you like that, do this:

try with a .jpg or .png to see if this works at all
try different URL schemes: src=":/x.gif", src="://x.gif", src="qrc://x.gif". QRC is always very fragile when it comes to schemes

@sierdzio Thanks!
