I am calling a stored procedure in my application which takes some time.I want to display a progress indicator in the meantime.

I can't use progress bar because they need max value. For timer could not get pointer to start and stop.
I am trying to use animation control for that i need .avi file which is running like as progress bar.

Please help me, if any one can get me a .avi file that plays like a progress bar.
I searched for such file on internet but unable to find one.

Thanks & Regards

You don't have any tags to say what version you're working in, so I can't say for sure, but...

Why not use the ProgressBar with the style set to 'marquee' ?

This will be the continuous look you're looking for.

hehe...no worries, but that's why it's important to use tags. Not all of us are on 12 year old technology ;o) Best of luck!

Cheers.

If you are working with VB6 then try using

Con.Execute strQry, , adAsyncExecute

Here con is the ADODB.Connection Object

This will make your execution Async
use con_ExecuteComplete Event for the completion message

use MSComCtl2.Animation object and show a Animated AVI file for your progress indicator.
