I have a smooth progress bar and, in time honoured fashion, wish to display
the progression percentage in the middle of the bar.
I naturally wish to have the text transparent but am struggling to
incorporate this enum.

I have set the flag to true for my control, but cannot then load it to a
form.

Any suggestions?

I'm not sure exactly what your asking here. Are you asking how to
overlay some text into the progress bar? Are you saying your
progressbar won't load on a form with that attribute? A bit more info
and I'll try and help ya.

If you already have the smooth progress bar, you can just
MeasureString/DrawString and it will only draw the string foreground,
allowing you to see thru to the progress bar.

Thanks Michael.......

I have used the DrawString and it nearly does all that I wish. I still have
a problem though and it is........

Because I am trying to use the string over the bar to show the percentage
value of the bar the numbers are continually overwriting each other. I
cannot seem to find a way to remove the previous string so it does not get
overwritten and merged into a blob of colour.
Do you have any further suggestions that may help me with this please.

Thanks

I have a control which does quite similar... The only thing I can think of
is to invalidate the control so that it redraws - then you draw your text
over top of it.
