Hi all,

I am trying to implement a dialog box with circular spinner showing in it, for some duration.

I am new to this and have least clue to implement code for the same. Did lot of googling but of not much use.

Will appreciate help in this regard.

Thanks

Just use an animated spinner GIF image with a GIF animation library. If the
GIF image animation froze, or the dialog got partially blank/erased. Learn
about multi threading.

Thank you for your valuable comments JJ. Would appreciate sample code or good link for reference.

I am able to display MessageBox but it has OK button in it.

My requirement is to display information message box which has circular spinner in it, to let user know that background process is in progress. Once the background process completed the dialogue box should go of.
