Animated buttons control?Can anyone recommend any good controls to implement animated buttons. I want
something that can perform the following: - Must initially display a static image - When clicked the button must seamlessly display an animated GIF while waiting for the postback to return The idea is to provide some indication to the user that a process is running between page postbacks. For example, at our sites checkout page, we have to exchange data with one of our vendors machiens and this can take 30 seconds or so sometimes. We want to provide a small progress bar style animation to the user while it is happening. Ben unless you want to write an active/x control of java applet which can start
a background thread (the main ie thread is stalled during postback) to run the animation, you should use a polling. google this newgroup for progress bar suggestions, i believe there are some controls. -- bruce (sqlwork.com( Show quoteHide quote "Ben Fidge" <ben.fidge@nospambtopenworld.com> wrote in message news:epvVpoXOGHA.3144@TK2MSFTNGP11.phx.gbl... > Can anyone recommend any good controls to implement animated buttons.

This isn't quite what I'm after. I actually use PleaseWaitButton (http://www.codeproject.com/aspnet/PleaseWaitButton.asp) but this is giving me a lot of problems since going over to ASP.NET 2.0 Thanks for your response however.
