+(see \helpref{SetInactiveBitmap}{wxanimationctrlsetinactivebitmap} for more info).

+\func{void}{SetInactiveBitmap}{\param{const wxBitmap\& }{bmp}}
+
+Sets the bitmap to show on the control when it's not playing an animation.
+If you set as inactive bitmap {\tt wxNullBitmap} (which is the default), then the
+first frame of the animation is instead shown when the control is inactive; in this case,
+if there's no valid animation associated with the control (see \helpref{SetAnimation}{wxanimationctrlsetanimation}),
+then the background colour of the window is shown.
+
+If the control is not playing the animation, the given bitmap will be immediately
+shown, otherwise it will be shown as soon as \helpref{Stop}{wxanimationctrlstop}
+is called.
