>That´s Very Interesting! It could help a lot! Thanks again Nadya!

Glad I can help. BTW, as a continuation of this idea would be a creation of a progressbar, which would allow to stop by ESC natively, e.g. you would not need to code it at all, but your progress bar will have this ability (which, of course, could be turned on and off). I suggested to add this feature to our thermometer class, but, as always, this suggestion was lost in the steam of others... Anyway, our thermometer class has two problems, so I'm thinking about trying progress bar from Common Controls by Alexander Grigoriev, available for Download here...
