There's only one piece of code in there that is not compatible with VFP 8 - it's an ICASE statement that you can just change to a regular Do Case statement. In any event, on the example the solid progressbar shows the percentage on top of the progress bar. Progressbarex is pure VFP, no ActiveX dependencies.

>My project has a progress bar (OCX 5) along the bottom of the form. The restof the form is a list control (OCX). No buttons - no room for a "Label".
>
>As the progress bar marks the projects "march" through a process, I would like to "echo" revalent text on top of the prohress bar.
>
>Unfortunately any object (label, container,etc), except a "form" is "forced" under or behing the progress bar.
>
>I was thinking of overlaying a semi transparent form with a "Label" control along the width of the progress bar. This produces a additional item in the task bar.
>
>Is there another way to do this? Is there a way to hide the "shortcut button" a top level form places in the task bar?
