Control for an animated GIF ...?

Brian Underhill via DotNetMonster.com

I have an animated GIF file taht I want to display during a connection to our
device. Also, I want to make the back ground color of the GIF, transparent.
When I tried adding a control for a video clip(.avi), the parent form became
distorted and jumbled. Is there an easy way to add a GIF that is animated,
and make one of the colors transparent at the same time without affecting the
rest of the form?

try picture control which used another thread automatically to animate GIFs.
Put in in the form and set the transparency key of the form to that color u
want to make transparent.
