I would like to insert my favorite throbber(a gif file) into a bitmap component, but bitmap only accept "bmp" and "jpeg". How could I insert my "gif" into the GUI form? I tried to convert my "gif" to "bmp", but the "bmp" will lose some frames, so I have to still use "gif"? Does anyone have any idea?

    The bitmap control will not allow a gif. The only way I could see a gif would be to use the web browser control and set the browser to a page that has your gif (ugly solution)

    Thanks Dilbert.

    It is "ugly" due to the scroll bar.

    I think I need to take some effort to create a "bmp" throbber.

    It was great that nitallica converted the gif into an animated bitmap. The tour sample program uses an animated bitmap as well.
