Loader in MS Office Add-in

Question

I'm creating a MS Word Add-in, which executes a long running process and I want to create some kind of loader, a gif or something like that which will show user that program is working. I see it like this: user click a button, process starts, a circle shows up on the screen and starts spinning, when process is finished, loader(this circle) disappears and messagebox informs that process is done. I got all the elements except this loader, can someone give any tips how to make something like this? I'm preparing this add-in for office 2013, especially for MS Word, but I would like to make the same for Excel and PowerPoint. Technology: C# + VSTO

您可以使用标准的进度条控件或尝试使用任何第三方组件。
