Pass an object reference to your common progress bar dialog so that it can control it via com....


MyUIProcedure()

local loDCOMEClass,loProgress

loDCOMClass = createobj('myOLEServer.MyClass')

loProgress = createobj('ProgressBar','Running the process',0,100)

loDCOMClass.DoThing( loProgress )

return

************
Then, your automation would be like...

Function DoThing

lparam loProgress

do while ThisNeedsToBeRunning

*** Lots of code here *****

** Update Progress Bar ****

loProgress.Update( 'Running this process', nIteration, nTotal )

enddo
