    Start/Stop Windows Services / indicator / progress bar

    I need to create an application, that will have 2 buttons, to start and stop a windows service. If i make the first 2 work, more butons for more services will follow of course. There should also be a progress bar showing the service starting or stopping, and also an indicator showing if the process is started or stopped.

    I have been working on Microsoft visual studio 2005 and VB .NET for the past 24 hours, and this code is what I've got so far.

    Code:
     Public Class ControlPanel
        Private Sub ApacheStart_Click(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles btnApacheStart.Click
            ApacheProgressBar.Value = 0
            ApacheTimer.Enabled = True
            Shell("net start apache2")
        End Sub
        Private Sub Button1_Click(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles btnApacheStop.Click
            ApacheProgressBar.Value = 0
            ApacheTimer.Enabled = True
            Shell("net stop apache2")
        End Sub
        Private Sub ProgressBar1_Click(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles ApacheProgressBar.Click
            ApacheTimer.Enabled = False
            ApacheProgressBar.Value = 0
        End Sub
        Private Sub ApacheTimer_Tick(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles ApacheTimer.Tick
            ApacheProgressBar.Value = ApacheProgressBar.Value + 1
            If ApacheProgressBar.Value >= 10 Then _
                    ApacheTimer.Enabled = False
        End Sub
    End Class
    The progress bar does not totally fill. It just fills up to a point and just stays there. Also, i have no idea how to add an indicator to show if the process is started or stopped. I have no previous programming experience.
