c++ Indicator / Loading Wheel

Question

I'm using RAD Studio 4 C++ builder and would like to display an Indicator wheel while my data sources was fetching data from the DB. I know FireMonkey has an Indicator wheel but c++ builder doesn't seem to have such a component.

Does anyone know of a component I could use ?

Answer 1

The TAnimate component is what you are looking for. Find an .avi video that suits your needs, load it into TAnimate, and perform your DB work in a separate thread so TAnimate is not blocked from running.
