Progress bar and timer

[jin29_neci]

I no idea how to start.I don't know how to start so I would like to see the sample so that I got and idea.

I just use the mouse down click on application exe manually like your done to open the word program . I would like to do like this While waiting the program is opened, I would like to show the prograss bar to let me know that the program I try to open is still in process.

here this is a light sample so u wont get confused

'the time interval is 100
'the pb.value is the progress bar value 

Private Sub Timer1_Timer()
    pb.Value = pb.Value + 1
    If (pb.Value = 2) Then
    lblWait.Caption = "Please Wait"
    ElseIf (pb.Value = 4) Then
    lblWait.Caption = ""
    ElseIf (pb.Value = 8) Then
    lblWait.Caption = "Please Wait"
    ElseIf (pb.Value = 12) Then
    lblWait.Caption = ""
    ElseIf (pb.Value = 16) Then
    lblWait.Caption = "Please Wait"
    ElseIf (pb.Value = 20) Then
    lblWait.Caption = ""
    ElseIf (pb.Value = 24) Then
    lblWait.Caption = "Please Wait"
    ElseIf (pb.Value = 28) Then
    lblWait.Caption = ""
    ElseIf (pb.Value = 32) Then
    lblWait.Caption = "Connecting"
    ElseIf (pb.Value = 36) Then
    lblWait.Caption = ""
    ElseIf (pb.Value = 40) Then
    lblWait.Caption = "Connecting"
    ElseIf (pb.Value = 44) Then
    lblWait.Caption = ""
    ElseIf (pb.Value = 48) Then
    lblWait.Caption = "Connected"
    End If
    
    If pb.Value = 50 Then
