Hello sir

I am having a project that converts a image character to text while this process is going to happen i need to display a gif image to users (GUI).
so my problem is how to do it .I tried creating a separate windows application in that i used a picturebox to display the image and copy that exe to my project and when needed i used to start the process using System.Diagnostics . After the project process is over i will kill that process. I know it is wrong.Even it creates an icon on task bar .Or if i create an notification icon even it will display it in system tray.

So can anybody suggest some solution to how to display a process message in windows C#. It will be better with an example

thanks with advance. Arun

The simplest way is to either add a PictureBox to your form, or (better) a separate form.
In the first example, you add the PictureBox to the Form.Controls list, and make the PictureBox Visible property true.
In the second, you create an instance of the form, and use the Show method to display it.

Neither of these is difficult - if you can handle OCR, you can handle this! :laugh:

You only need to show a form.

If you want that form shows an animated image, or a progress bar, you should run in a separate thread.

When your application runs out to do their jobs, end the thread and go.
