Ok, once I actually got it all in my project, it works, but since my processing is usually about 5 seconds, the progress kind of pops up in the middle of the bar, moves a little bit, then it's done. Is there a way to have it start on the absolute left of the bar and then have it either move faster with less "dots" (really little rectangles)? Is this something I can control?
