animated icon in status bar of form?

How do I put a custom animated icon on the status bar of a form? I have an
animated icon file called icon.ani, and I've tried getting
'statusbar1.Ani mate' to work with no success. Can someone give me some
pointers please?

Thanks,

Flashster

Ah, so it won't help me then as I want to change the status bar to look like
the form (not just the panels).

Can I just clarify - you are talking about using a panel control (rather
than a status panel) here?


No, the statusbar control can display status bar panels. However, I
believe that the method demonstrated in the referenced article cannot be
used to change the color of the complete control.

Hi, I have a form with a tray icon. However, when I minimize the form, it stays visible - not in the task bar (I have showintaskbar property set to false), but in a form of a rectangle sitting above the task bar. Can't figure out why that happens - it looks very ugly... Any ideas ? Zeljko

I would like to make a program that puts an icon into the desk tray and when relevant changes it to an animated icon (much like the internet connection icon).

Hi all... I have created an aspx page that contains an animated GIF. I am using javascript and location.replace to redirect from this page to another aspx page which takes several seconds to load. When location.replace is called the animated GIFs in the first page stop animating. Is this standard behaviour? If so, is there an easy work around to prevent this?

It fires up perfectly on boot, however if the user logs off, and then logs back in (not reboot), or if the system goes to...

I am a complete idiot and when it comes to PHP code I'm even worse. Is there something special I need to do to get an animated gif to work inside some PHP code. I have substituted an animation for a still picture. I created an animation and named it the same as the still picture then uploaded it to the server and overwrote the one in the images directory.

Hello folks, I am unable to find appropriate documentation on the type promotion of bit-fields when using the generalised comparison operator "<=>".
