    Wait indicator

    I've searched high and low on the 'net and on this forum, but I cannot seem to find what I'm looking for anywhere. My application utilizes a loading screen when it first starts, and I'd like to use the spinning blue wait indicator found in the default applications. I cannot find this anywhere, so I've resorted to hacking up a screen grab of this icon and animating it myself.

    Needless to say, this is a bit hacky and it isn't quite "right." It looks good, but I can see the edges where the transparency should be.

    Is this icon available as a control in MCML? Failing that, can I access the image used for the icon in a sample application somewhere?

    It strikes me as odd that something like this isn't available anywhere, which makes me think that it's right under my nose.

    Thanks in advance for pointing me in the right direction.

    It figures that once I decide to post after pulling a few hairs out, I find the answer:

    Hopefully this will at least serve others looking for the same thing.
