AVI on a form

[Tony]

How to I play an AVI on a windows form.

I have an AVI that I run when performing long operations on a progress form,
sort of like the operating system does when you are copying a file.

But I don't see a way to handle this.

I have even tried putting an animated gif in a PictureBox and that works for
a while, but then stops looping for no reason.

Anyone have any ideas?

PictureBox should work with animated gif.
You may need to set the repeat property (I do not sure the property
name, I always use animated gif which is created by otehr) when generate
the animated gif.

For AVI, I think the managed DirectX9 wrapper should have some support
but I do not actually know DirectX.
