Can anyone recommend any good controls to implement animated buttons. I want
something that can perform the following:
- Must initially display a static image
- When clicked the button must seamlessly display an animated GIF while
waiting for the postback to return
The idea is to provide some indication to the user that a process is running
between page postbacks. For example, at our sites checkout page, we have to
exchange data with one of our vendors machiens and this can take 30 seconds
or so sometimes. We want to provide a small progress bar style animation to
the user while it is happening.

unless you want to write an active/x control of java applet which can start
a background thread (the main ie thread is stalled during postback) to run
the animation, you should use a polling. google this newgroup for progress
bar suggestions, i believe there are some controls.

Hi Bruce,
This isn't quite what I'm after. I actually use PleaseWaitButto n
( http://www.codeproject.com/aspnet/PleaseWaitButton.asp) but this is giving
me a lot of problems since going over to ASP.NET 2.0
Thanks for your response however.

I am using Visual Studio 2003, Windows Application (not web) and
Visual Basic.
When I place an animated gif (not in runtime) in a button or picture
box, it works fine. When I change the gif in runtime from an
imagelist or Image.FromFile command, the image is displayed but there
is no animation.
How do I change (in run-time) one animated gif to another animated gif
and display the animation?

Is it possible using Image or Bitmap to build and save an animated GIF file?
I am not have a problem saving the GIF file just getting the frames added to

I did find ImageAnimator but it only seems to deal with showing the GIF and
not saving it.
Thanks,

At the top of the page on my website http://www.itemlook.com I have an
animated gif called "eyeline.gif". It has worked fine in the past, but
recently I am unable to get it to work using IE6. All that I get is a box
with nothing in it. It almost seems as if the file will not open on my page,
let alone animate.
It still works fine with my Netscape browser. I am using Windows 98. Any
ideas would be appreciated.
Thanks,

Hi,
I'd like to write Javascript that stops animated gifs from animating.
On Firefox, at least, window.stop(); does the trick, although it stops
everything on the page and is kind of unpredictable. If I connect it
to the onload event, sometimes only half the page will be displayed.
Does the onload even fire before rendering?
Does anyone know a reasonable way to accomplish my original goal of

I thought it would be nice to display some animated GIFs on some of my
forms. I put a PictureBox control on a form, and loaded my GIF file in. It
animates, but not properly. It seems very jerky and dwells on some frames
longer than it should. Searching for this problem, I have found several
people who have stated that animated GIFs don't work in a PictureBox at all,
and you have to use the ImageAnimator. I assume they must be referring to...
