NP. I "dislike" other that attempt to ask for help, when they in fact want someone else to do it for them.

But, what I was thinking was more of a re-drawing of some sort with the form itself. I call it a child form, because it is going to be spawned from the main form that asks the user for some information. Then, this "child form" will be a status window that will have a progress bar and display some text in a dialog window.

What I want to be able to do is click on a button that will call a procedure that will extend the window on the Y axis, and show the dialog window. Then, if the user clicks on the same button again, to undo what just happened.

I don't know where to start for re-drawing the form. I have some sort of idea for showing the dialog window. I can use the Show() and Hide() expression. But, it's how I would go about re-drawing the form.

As far as "scrolling text", it will just be adding another line into a combo box. Let's say I am going to display the following on Line 1 within the Combo box:

Scanning SERVER1...

Then, I would add some more text into line 2, while leaving line 1 alone. So it would look like this:

Scanning SERVER1....
--Getting hardware info...

Does that make sense? I believe I know how to do this.
