How can I do this? Do I have to multi or cross therading in order to do this? If yes, could you give me an example for a select procedure or datagridview events? Thursday, February 4, PM. Hi, This document shows an example about display Gif image.

But when form is busy it also get struck. How to make it function when the form is busy and I want the animated image to stop rotation. Is it possible to do that? Your image will get "stuck" if you are performing an operation on the same thread running the Form UI.

If you have an operation that will take a long time to complete, and you do not want your user interface UI to stop responding or "hang," you can use the BackgroundWorker class to execute the operation on another thread. Be aware it is not a functionality from windows form tho put those on the predefined icon places.

The backgroundworker is at its end, it will be replaced by Async a more robust and easier in the code implemented way. I also write always, why do you want a backgroundworker do its job on the foreground instead of UI.

What you're doing here is an attempt to let the backgroundworker do the work on the ui thread again, which defeats the purpose of a backgroundworker. View All. Zakir Ahamed Updated date Aug 28, Loader Loader is an operating system that is used for loading Programs and Libraries.
