How to put an animated gif onto form ?

When I load it into picuterbox it's static.

Hrcko,

When you put something in a picturebox control, it is only a picture,
and thus, of course it is static and it does not move.
Therefore, you will need to look for another component that might
support your 'animation', otherwise, you could try and download a
component that other people have made for your intention.

Hope that helps!

Otherwise, why not try do some manual animation by increment the
coordinates with a for loop?

Contrary to the other post, I've put an animated clock on my forms for
processes that take more than a second to run and its fine.
Not sure why you're having problems, best check the gif itself, But putting
the gif in a picture box is fine and a better use of resources as no timer
is required.

Cheers
