ActiveX controls in VFP
I was looking at the ftp_class available in the files section. It has much of the WinInet functions already declared and a good chunk of the code already in place. The only declarations and procedures that it is lacking to do progress bars from what I have been able to find so far is the WinInet FtpGetFileSize and InternetReadFile functions. I think that my easiest path, then, would be to just add these two functions to ftp_class and then use InternetReadFile instead of FtpGetFile per the "HOWTO: Provide Download/Upload Progress Information when Using WinInet" Q234913 article that I found.
As you can see, I determined to have a progress bar <g>.
Thanks for the help.
