    This may or may not be what you're looking for, but it looks very good anyway.

    If you create a picturebox with a (usually) white background.
    Then inside the picturebox if you create a new picturebox with the same dimensions but with no border.

    Then when you're starting to do something, set the width of the inner box to 0. And you increase the width as you're going along.

    innerPictureBox.Width = parentPictureBox.Width * somePercent

    No, I'm not looking for a progress bar. What I wanted was an animated picture so that in addition to a progress bar in the status bar of my application, there's a little animation to show that the program is still processing, and has not crashed.

    How about an image of a key rotating in the taskbar?

    A rotating key shouldnt be too hard to bang together in something like 3Dstudio

    This is something I 'banged together' with PSP, its 8 frames, 360 degrees of rotation on a 16x16 key, good for taskbar.
