It should display a small progress indication that gently slides from left to right and then back again from right to left, thus indicating that work is being done but the work size is not yet known. Nor the Borland help files, examples, google, or the VC++ reference for the MFC ProgressBarCtrl component helped me out. There doesn't seem to be any public methods for achieving the desired effect. (MSDN reference: http://tinyurl.com/ywxhl) Any ideas, suggestions and/or code will be appreciated! :-) Thanks! Best regards Michael F. S.

You will have to find a third-party custom component instead (or make your own). Gambit Back to top Michael F. S.
