hey techy...
i guess your progress bar is in c++ right?
could you give out the source?
well anyway, you mind if i make a control out of it?
ill start working on the ocx, if you have any objection tell me!

The progress bar is made in Pure VB :p, with some tweaking and twitching. :D

You can make OCX out of it :D, I have no problem. Although I believe its easier to use it like this than OCX, thats why I did not make it the OCX way.

pure vb? then how come it's a normal api dll? did you use gui linker pro?
anyway, how about the source code, are you going to release it? and i think it is way easier to use it as a control... don't you think?

[edit]
i forgot to mention that if it's a control, the software can make the progress bar disappear at run time by setting the visible to false...
otherwise, the programmer can not hide the progress bar unless he sets autoredraw to false...

and one more thing... if you did it in vb, then how come you didn't make the font an stdfont and the back and fore colors ole_color... that would have been simpler to use... and can you tell me the rgb of the fore color you put in the sample prog?

No insult intended, but I would be very worried about using something that was not either from someone I knew personally, a known manufacturer or came with the source code.

I'm not suggesting this is the case here, but a free control would be a great way to send out a worm.

Actually hiding the progress bar is very easy, just call Me.Refresh to hide the progress bar.
