status bar

Greetings,

How can I throw a status bar on my application real quick?

Thank you,
Jim

Project>Components>Microsoft Windows Common Controls 6.0...status bar will show up in the toolbox.

in vb6 - press CTRL+T to bring up components dialog, scroll down to 'microsoft windows common controls 6.0 (SP4)' and check the box to the left. this adds a few extra icons to the left hand bar. one of them is status bar. drag it onto form and then use properties to set it's text throughout program.

ha, memnoch beat me there.

Thanks guys,

Now, how exactly do we get the progress bar to run. i set enabled = true in the function in which i want the progeress to be measured. It doesn't seem to activate the bar. What properties do I need to set?

Thank you,
Jim

With a progress bar you need to set the min and max properties and then every time you do something change the value property.

Thanks guys!
