SetParent

i have got a mdi form, on which i have a status bar and a progress bar. while doing any process i want to show the progress bar in one of the panels of the status bar.

i used the setparent method, but the prgress bar is not fitting into the panel of the status bar.

pls guid me.

there's no one to answer this question?? :confused: :confused:

SetParent wont do that... setparent is for making a window a child of your MDI form...

There is no autosize, you have to do it yourself.

I use a common procedure like this

Code:

---

Sub SetupProgress(Parenthwnd As Long, Top As Long, height As Long, Left As Long, width As Long)

    On Error Resume Next
    OldProgress = SetParent(fMainForm.ProgressBar1.hwnd, Parenthwnd)
   
    fMainForm.ProgressBar1.height = height
    fMainForm.ProgressBar1.Left = Left
    fMainForm.ProgressBar1.Top = Top
    fMainForm.ProgressBar1.width = width
    fMainForm.ProgressBar1.Visible = True

End Sub

---

and when I want to set up my progress bar onto a panel on my MDI form, in this example panel 3.

Code:

---

    SetupProgress fMainForm.StatusBar1.hwnd, 0, fMainForm.StatusBar1.height, fMainForm.StatusBar1.Panels(3).Left, fMainForm.StatusBar1.Panels(3).width
