    how to display window search animation in my form?

    when you do a find, you get that animated search avi?gif on the find window. does anyone know how i can get hold of this animation window using window api and make my form as the parent. basically displaying this on my form.

    why? to show some progress of processing going on with the app. if you use progress bar, still the bar will be stuck. i guess the animation will keep the user informed.

    - shows how to create an animated window using the windows API and display a AVI file from a resource file.
