I have tried to locate a status bar that allows customizing the color of each bar, I could not locate one.

Instead I am going to use several rectangle objects and then just show them at specified time. The goal is to create sort of a countdown effect.

I cannot figure out how to use the timer control in VB6 to make this happen. I.e. I have 20 boxes, they are all hidden by default. Then when a certain even is triggered, I want each box to show progressively in a certain time frame, say 5 seconds.

Any ideas on how to do this??

Thanks

Mike
