   Vista File Copy Animation
  Hello!I'm working on a project in C# and would like to use the Vista File Copy animation. The thing is, I have a custom method which uploads some files to server. I would just like the animated dialog saying it's uploading. Any ideas? I know SHCopy could be used or some kind WINAPI with CreateEX but it does not work for me in C#. Thank you in advance!
  The Windows Vista User Experience Guidelines has a section on Progress Dialogs and Progress Bars which should give you some useful information on proper usage patterns. You'll want the ProgressBar Class to get it up and running.Does that help?   ;  Thank you for your posting. The guides are nice, but there is nowhere mentioned how to include that copy animation. All the guides say is that it is correct to use it but not how. I think, it is somehow saved in Shell32.dll under Animation resource 161 but it's not possible to display it.So the question is still open: how to play that copy animation?   ;  The Windows Vista animations aren't accessible for use...they're in a special compressed format.  You can still use IProgressDialog (with a .NET wrapper, if you'd like) but in Vista it no longer supports the the method for setting an animation.I don't know of any ways around this, and if you come across any they're likely to be hacks that could break in future versions of Windows.   ;Quote:Original post by MJPThe Windows Vista animations aren't accessible for use...they're in a special compressed format.
