I'm using a class inheriting from the DocumentWindow one. We've decided to load data for this window asynchronously and would now like to display some sort of feedback in the tab itself. What is the best way to animate the image to the left of the text in the tab?
Hi Mike,
Perhaps you could use something like this class to assist in rendering an Image that contains animations?

Hi,
Thank you for that. Tried that route and the problem was figuring out where to draw the image? I looked at the TabStripRenderer and didn't have much success as this looks like I would be responsible for drawing the entire tab, not just the image.
Hi Mike,
It's been a while since I've used that class but if I remember correctly I think you just use it and it animates the image to the next frame within the Image object. So as long as you Invalidate the tab, when it re-renders, it will show the next frame. You shouldn't have to custom render the tab.
