Showing animation on a form

[Noor]

Hi All

How some application shows animation to show if some progress/processing is
going on.

like especially in the end of some wizard, the application shows animation
on a form, animation like we see when copying of files is being done.

is that done by showing some animated gif? If an animated gif then how to
display an animated gif on a form.
Thanks

Just add a picturebox and set its 'Image' property to the animated GIF.
Windows uses IMO a STATIC control to display the animation (AVI), but I don't
know if there is a good replacement for .NET available.

I do it on my app with an animated gif on a form running in its own thread.

This isn't the exact article I used when I did mine , but it is a similar
solution
