Replacing Busy Pointer 2

[pierrotsc]

Right now, when i am doing some computation, I have the busy pointer spinning. I would like to have something cuter such as a small animation saying "generating" when the user is waiting. I was thinking maybe loading an animated cursor or a flash animation but have no clue on how to do that. Does anybody would have some ideas about doing something like that?
Thanks.

Thanks. I already use custom cursor but i guess this time it will have to be animated. Would you have a link on how to create an animated cursor to be used in Delphi? I will also google it.
Thanks.

If you have jvcl installed, have a look at several options you have on the 'JvImages, Animators' tab of the palette.

I don't know of this helps or not. The second claims to be a source example of how to do animations.

Thanks. I did find the second link this morning and was able to implement it. I am going to look into jvcl.
Appreciate all your help.
