Does anybody have a link to a control that is free that looks like...
You know in xp, you have a kind of a statusbar, but instead of working from
one side to another, its, going side to side, like a statusbar that is
never ending...

You know, like a progressbar but insted it shows that the app is working...

Anybody who has a control like this, or know where I can get one for free???

Thanks AirPete! ;-)
It was almost as I wanted it (the rest I think I can to myself), however, it
flickers alot, do you know a way to avoid the flickering?


Yours: Kristoffer
 
Im woundering though...
I would like it to have an xp, look and feel...
so, how is it possible to make it look like and xp statusbar???

(do I have to make an image and put in its place???)?
Where can I find this image?

Click to expand...

If you are using VS.NET 2003, add this to your 'Sub Main':

\\\
Application.EnableVisualStyles()
Application.DoEvents()
Application.Run(New MainForm())
///
 
I would take some screenshots of the XP one:
The Upper Left Border
The Upper Right Border
The Upper Middle Border
and so on, plus the actual progress "bars",
then combine them together in the Paint event.

The flickering can be solved by double buffering (draw to hidden surface,
then blit to screen).
