I am using C++, on windows using only the windows api.
What I’m trying to create is a circle loading animation type of thing. Similar to the animation thats displayed on the left side of a tab, in IE when you try to load a page.
In fact I’m curious how programmers create animations like those at all.
If anyone could explain how thats done, and maybe provide tutorial links 🙂
For something like that, you would typically create a series of icons, set a timer to cycle through them at the desired rate, then kill the timer when the animation was no longer needed.
