Hi Faizan,
          Even i work on D2K (Forms 6i). I have tried this below & found the result.
     Its true that you can not add animated image. But you can definitely show a data loading symbol in code.
     Add 2 different contrast colours and choose a striped pattern.
1) Create a text item with a lengthy rectangle (width minimum of 300).
2) Create a visual attribute for it with desired colours.
3) Finally add the following in between your code.
Your Code
set_item_property('YOUR_BLOCK.TEXT_ITEM',visible,property_true);
   set_item_property('YOUR_BLOCK.TEXT_ITEM', width,2);
Your Code
tot_wid:= get_item_property('YOUR_BLOCK.TEXT_ITEM', width);
Your Code
set_item_property('BLOCK3.PROGBAR', width,100);
Your Code
set_item_property('BLOCK3.PROGBAR', width,300);
Message('Data Loading is completed');
Try this out and let me know if its working as you expected & also let me know if there is a problem.
