Hi Chip,
Thanks for this. You know, I didn't even notice that a Progress bar was
one of the controls one could add to a dialog; I must have missed that
one as I moved down the list, but I appreciate the info.
Thanks again,
Rod

Hi Rod,
You have to create a dialog, and add your progress bar as a control to it.
The other thing some apps do is to give regular "bleeps" while processing,
using the audio toolkit or a .wav file, or even a series of .wav files if
you want to indicate a percentage by the tone. This has the advantage of
not popping up a dialog to take the user away from what they were doing, if
all they did was to press a hotkey. If you have a dialog up already of
course, then there's no real advantage. I'm sure a dialog with a progress
bar is preferred by those who are deaf-blind, or otherwise don't want their
audio interrupted.
Hth,
Chip

Subject: Creating a progress bar in an app
Hi guys,
It's great that we have the Progress indicator app to track software
which has a progress bar, but how would we go about creating a progress
bar so that we could make use of the convenience of the reporting
offered by the Progress indicator app? I'm thinking of those situations
where we want to mark time while a process is occurring.
Thanks,
Rod
