   Private Sub Timer1_Tick(sender As Object, e As EventArgs) Handles Timer1.Tick
        Dim Enume As IEnumerator =
            Genie.AnimationNames.GetEnumerator()

        While Enume.MoveNext
            Form3.ComboBox1.Items.Add(Enume.Current)
        End While

        Form3.ComboBox1.Text = Form3.ComboBox1.Items.Item(0)
        Timer1.Dispose()
    End Sub

        Form1.Genie.Play(ComboBox1.Text)

Remarks

An animation's name is defined when the character is compiled with the Microsoft Agent Character Editor. Before an animation is played, the Microsoft Agent Server will attempt to play the assigned "Return" animation for the previous animation (if applicable).
