Make progress bar fill over time?

I want to make a (fake) progress bar fill over the period of 15 sec. Its just for looks so I figured I would use a timer, but it doenst let me use a + sign. Please tell me how.

Try this:
add a progress bar and a timer to your form, set progress bar's Max property to 15, and Timer's Interval to 1000. Then use this code:

Code:

---

Private Sub Timer1_Timer()
    ProgressBar1.Value = ProgressBar1.Value + 1
End Sub

---
