I have done something similar, which was a borderless progress form with an animated gif, and a background worker on it. You just hook up to the
DoWorkandRunWorkerCompletedevents as normal. Having said that, although it worked fine in a small scale application, for a larger app I ended up writing my own threading code. Ideally the window should be modeless. But then you have to intercept all mouse and keyboard messages to ensure the end user cannot click elsewhere.If you have knowledge, let others light their candles at it.

The window should be modal to prevent the user from making any action while it is processing... I tried to making a separate window with animated GIf and called it under another thread but it still doesnt work.. can you give me a sample how will i do it.. thanks in advance..

Could be a largish code chunk. I'll see if I can slim it down. The key though is that the window is launched on the main GUI thread, but performs it's work on a secondary thread.

Email on it's way to you. It was far to big to post here. Maybe one day I will write it up as an article.

Got a much better Wait Window available now. Posting the code to you made me think about what I had and I have vastly improved on the code now. I have posted it as an Article A simple wait window[^].
