Hi Everyone,

I am wondering if it would be possible to load animated gif into elements in the dialog box and display the animation when the dialog box is running. Any help would be much appreciated. Thanks!

You may want to consider using Flash animations and the Flash ActiveX control.  You will have a lot more flexibility and it's really easy to integrate.
