    Hi All, I am trying to do some graphical thing in my window application (VS 2010). What I am trying to do is I need to have a object that shows different states while the application is running. The best example I can give you a elevator. Its door open, close and run etc.I don't know what to use at this point. Any idea will help. Thanks.

      if your app is going to paint the frames, this[^] could guide you. if all you need is a movie, you could turn a number of images into a single animated GIF, and a PictureBox would know how to display that (it is about the only thing it does well). :)

      Please use <PRE> tags for code snippets, they preserve indentation, improve readability, and make me actually look at the code.

        I can't stand animations; they just look like they're wasting cycles that are better used to get the job done. Progress bars are OK. Status indicators are OK.

            I mean like a simple red-light/green-light indicator that (usually) doesn't change very frequently.

              I'm not clear exactly what you are after, but have you thought about using WPF which provides you with animation techniques which may suit your needs?

                _Maxxx_, you are right but the application is in Winform not in WPF. if it was then I could use story board to do that. thanks for your suggestion anyway.
