[RESOLVED] GRADED Progress Bar

[MikkyThomeon]

Hi All

If you look at programs like DAP you will see that there is a graded progressbar and I need to use something like that. The bar must have three thresholds - green, orange and red. I am sure this is available but i cant find anything of the sort. If you can help I would be grateful.

Thanks ~~~~:<

Well, I don't use DAP so I don't know exactly what you mean. Are you saying that the entire bar is shown in one of those colours, depending on the value, or do you mean that the bar colour is a gradient of all three at the same time? Either way you're going to have to darw your own bar using GDI+, unless you care to search the Web for an existing third-party control.

Well for threshold one the progress bar would contain green blocks. If the value goes over this then the orange blocks would start to show. Then if this is exceeded then red blocks would start showing.

I have looked around but cant find anything similar yet. GDI+ ... well I havent worked much woth drawing methods

OK I have done it thanks. Quite easy thanks to m$

To demonstrate the use of itthe control, use the following in a form:

    Private Sub Button1_Click(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles Button1.Click

        With GradedProgressBar1
            .Left = 20
            .Top = 20
            .Width = 100
            .Height = 20
            .Minimum = 0
            .Threshold1 = 10
            .Threshold2 = 16
            .Maximum = 20
            .Value += 1
            .Visible = True
        End With
    End Sub
