Ok, so I have another idea instead of the ProgressBar, that maybe someone could help me with.

So instead of doing a ProgressBar I found some Gifs that work like endless looping progress-bar/spinning wheels, etc...

So what I think I'll try is to create some kind of container that can hold Widgets, and I'll add the animated Gif image
along with a Label saying something like "Sending Data....", or soemthing like that, then once the Background process
completes, I'll close the Container containing the Gif image.

The part I need some guidance on is finding a Widget I can add a Gtk2::Image to along with a Label. I know the
Gtk2::Window can hold Widget(s), but was hoping for something more like a Dialog box, or just a smaller window like widget.
But it seems that the Dialog and MessageDialog cannot get Widgets "added" to them...

Any ideas for what I CAN use to add Widgets to for this? I assume I could create a 2nd window aside from my MAIN-Parent window
widget (*parent contains all the stuff I mentioned in my OP), but I have not tried creating more then one Window Widget
in the same script.

In the mean time I guess I'll try creating a really small "Window" widget by specifying the height and Width manually to something
small. Then I guess I'd add something like an HBox that would include the label and GIF...


If anyone has any ideas for something I can use other then a Gtk2::Window, please feel free...
Other then that, any ideas, thoughts and/or suggestions would be greatly appreciated!


Thanks in Advance,
Matt
