Is there such a control? I've seen them used during installations, where the text and back ground color flip at the progress bar value....It kind looks like this. If there's not a control, how do you do it?
thanks

Process control doesn't give you good quality, it gives you consistent quality.
Good quality comes from consistently doing the right things.

I've been working on a custom control to do the exact thing...it's still a work in progress though. If anyone has such a control already, PLEASE SHARE LOL
I think most of those control are written in C++ using pixel collision detection for knowing when to invert
the pixels of the numbers. I would like to have one of those in VB.NET too. So hopefully someone has one to give out?

I made the example using 2 textboxes one atop the other, and each having inverted colors, and the top one half the width of the bottom. It would suit my goals if I could get the text box to display half of a character on the right side (kinda cheesy, but it would do). Is there a way to do that?

I think when the textbox is sized it only displays a character at a time, right. So what if you used yur two textboxes
in reverse order?
Box1 will be on top but will be on the right side. then as you increase your progress you "uncover" the Box2 below
by "sliding" Box1 to the right but it will acutlaay be resizing in width smaller and moving to the right. This will give
the partial character display of the Box2 underneath.
I hope I explained it right.

Thanks Dewwd,
it's pretty close.....maybe some tweaking will get the text color to change as the bar progresses over it
