Hello,

I am trying to implement a circular spinning .GIF image on simple window that opens above an existing window that is doing some complex processing.

I do not want to use a horizontal or vertical progress bar as the time to complete the tasks is unknown. How can I do this? when I use an animated .gif file it is not animated during the work happening on the window underneath.

Same for an AVI file when I play it in a loop. Both are just frozen.. using PB12.5, any help would be appreciated. Thank you.

I create a separate thread in order to display my processing gif.  This way, nothing is slowed down.  You can download an example from this link...

You might need a yield statement in your processing loop

Put the picture control on a window of type popup. Open the window before starting the process and close it when finished.
