ProgressBar = HELL

[kleptos]

Of all the controls, the progress bar has to be on eof the most unuseful controls imaginable. All i want to do is change the colors, or maybe add a bitmap as the bar, something, anything, any ideas on how i can modify this standard control to look better?
Thanks!

Its a nice article, but way too bloated with tons of other things besides the progress bar, code is pretty hard to follow, for me anyways. Know of any others?

Actually there was an MS KB on making a Progress Bar, and that worked real nice...
If anyone is interested.

Actually , I've seen progressbar created by a label .It's nice and easy too , it's in VB.NET . Do you want to see that ?

I followed the MS KB one and it works great. All i want to do now is get the little numbers on top of the bar itself to show percentage.

I'm busy writing my own progress bar at the moment - mainly because the Microsoft one does not support RightToLeft.

I have attached the code. It works, but I warn you it is still pretty rough and I'm still playing around with it. You should be able to change the colors etc. to get what you want.

I'm in the process of tidying it up and adding a few features. Will post again when done.

Anyway, you are welcome to it if it's any help.

Since this forum wil not allow the upload of a .cs file (why?) I have renamed the fiel as a .txt.
