We have a large amount of data to be processed and brought over from the backend. While this is happening, I would like to show a a large spinning wheel throbber (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Throbber#Spinning_wheel) overlay the application window.
How do I achieve this? Ideally I want to have the overlaying throbber still show the application window in the background, kind of in a translucent mode that I have seen elsewhere
Hi,
Your question is a bit open-ended. What part of this in particular is giving you trouble?
It seems like this would be fairly straightfoward using the AnimationControl.
Thanks Talloula. This is a good one. I am trying to put a plain spinning wheel throbber like we see so commonly these days. For example, when a video is loading on youtube, you see that throbber.
Any suggestions?
Thanks!

Alex, I have not yet go around to working on this. So if you have an example you could post or send a link to, I would greatly appreciate it.
The built-in animations for the Animation control no longer exist in Windows Vista, so they are not supported. You can still use the Animation control to display an AVI file, though.
