You need to convert the gif to that *.ani file format. This can be loaded like any other cursor. See:

honestly i don't understand the answer.
i can get the animated cursor and draw it(all frames 1 by 1). what i don't know is how i get the delay.

I don't get your problem. How come that you are able to retrieve the images but not the delay.

What are you talking about? gif ani?

[Cambalinho]

gif ;)
(thread title, i think i don't mistake ;) )

[coder777]

RIFF and gif are completely different things/file formats. According to the title you have problems with RIFF, but you say you use gif.

What exactly are you trying to do?

[Cambalinho]

to be honest, on these thread, i don't speak about gif... but ok.
my objective is: how can i get the delay between the RIFF frames?

Depends on how the data is stored in the tagged chunks:

Windows animated cursors are based on the RIFF format, with the data stored in a known method:

i must read the data byte a byte or is there another way?
