Hi Nadya,

I have it downloaded from that URL, thanks for the update.

I think that with the current release of library you need just create a simple form with Animation control, make that form AutoCenter, Modeless, etc. Then run that form before calling SendMail method and release after. There is no big difference if it is defined as regular form (SCX file) or some class based on Form class and placed in VCX, anyway it will work. You may use the same way for FTP.

Later, if I release Animation and Progressbar in status bar you may need another solution, but in common it will be like that one I have described above.
