Title: Progress Ring
Post by: Wilko Verweij on October 09, 2016, 11:30:17 AM

Hi, does anybody know how to create a 'progress ring', the control Windows uses since version 8 as a sort of modern hourglass? I could find some information but not how to create, e.g. with CreateWindow or so.
Any help is appreciated,
Wilko

Maybe just download an animated gif and display it in your application?

LOL, never thought of this! Very cool, and so easy.

Thanks Paul for this link. I now have something similar but not with such a nice animation. I am still looking to find out if it can be used as an intrinsic control, though...

It is not a control but a .NET class. Besides, you have to use XAML and all the M$ paraphernalia.
