>LOL Thats just a sample! I put the PLAY property so you could display a working progressbar for your poor user to look at while your 30 minutes process works in the background. no need to update the statusbar, it just reachs the end and starts over if you set REPEAT to 1. But even Microsoft´s own install programs do that, you think you are almost done, and the &%# progressbar starts all over again from zero.

Would this work if I use LockWindowsUpdate function? I have a form that takes some time to load and all my attempts to speed it up so far were not 100% sucessful. So, I'm thinking, it would be cool to put progress bar in the status bar rather than currently displayed wait window...

I just copied both class libraries into our libs directory. Also do I understand correctly that status bar removes itself when my application is closed if I'm working in debug mode (e.g. doing do main from command window)?
