uh, no. it is not. at best you can put a label over the progress bar. but it twon't erase.

edit - I suppose if you REALLY have the inclination, you can build your own. then you could make it do anything you want.

Normal ProgressBar won't allow the display of text(above the progress bar, just like you had seen in Setup programs). But thirdparty components are there, which provide this functionality.

If you want to display the text somewhere else(ie. not above the progressbar -> what I mean is text within the boundary of the progressbar is not possible), then you can show the Progressbar's value in a label followed by the "%"...

Example:

Private Sub Timer1_Timer()
If ProgressBar1.Value < 100 Then
  ProgressBar1.Value = ProgressBar1.Value + 1 '~~~> For incrementing the progressbar's value
  Label1.Caption = CStr(ProgressBar1.Value) & "%" '~~~> For displaying the % in a Labelbox
Else
  Timer1.Enabled = False
End If
End Sub
