Shiny Progress bar alternative for StatusStrip

[philzy127]

I have been using a wonderful shiny ColoredProgressBar made by gruff that can be found here. It took some time to get it to work properly in a splashscreen and now I would like to attempt to use it in a Status Strip. My project is VB.NET 4.5. I really have no idea if this can even be accomplished or if I just need to do this a different way. Any thoughts or suggestions are appreciated.

You can use a ToolStripControlHost to host your control, then add that to the strip, I tried it like this and seems to work OK,...

Private Sub Form1_Load(sender As Object, e As EventArgs) Handles MyBase.Load
    StatusStrip1.Items.Add(New ToolStripControlHost(Me.PictureBox1))
End Sub
