animation on win form like that of MSN messenger?

[sinanju]

How can I display the animation on the win form like that of MSN messenger, which is displayed when we click the login button? By simply placing an animated gif file on the win form, it starts animating, even in design mode. But, I want to display it for some button's click event, like exactly that of MSN messenger. Any idea?

Use a timer, when it ticks show the "next" image in an image sequence. :josh: My WPF Blog[^]

thank you :josh: for the reply. The messenger animation may be like what you've said. But, I have a single animated gif file, whose animation is on its own. Do u have any solution for this scenerio?

Thank you leppie, for you reply. Here how can i manage to display it, some threading will do the trick, so that i can move the form around while the animation is on?
