Browser style busy animation

I would like to make a small avi that plays over and over when the database is being accessed in my VB app. I am unsure how to tell it to animate this and how I can be sure there will be enough system resourses at all times to make it run as smooth as the one in IE does. Any suggestions? The art is the easy part, we can do a gif, an avi whatever. ust the code is the problem.

Thanx in advance!

You could use the Animation control to play an AVI file.

This will start the AVI file.

Code:

---

Animation1.AutoPlay = True
Animation1.Open "C:\myAVIFile.AVI"

---

This will stop the AVI file.

Code:

---

If Animation1.AutoPlay Then
    Animation1.AutoPlay = False
    Animation1.Close
End If

---

Hope this helps. :)

How can I tell you I love you when you are sitting on my face?

Hi,

For my web browser, I want to put an animation in the corner so when a page is loading, the animation starts, and when the page is done, the animation stops. I think I have to use another web browser control to place the animation in. Does anyone know how to place the animation in the browser control and make it stop or begin?

Any help appreciated.
