Hi Claudio,

it might display when you call the Paint method. However, the animation is drawn in the same thread as the main application runs. Therefore, as long as your application is running, you will see no animation, or a very flaky one. I found the only reliable way to create an animation is by using a COM EXE that displays a form with the animation. The EXE runs in its own thread and is therefore free to display the animation while the main application keeps running.
