Take a look at the Define method of the CBar class. You'll just need to add a property or two for the two picture clauses. Then modify the code that builds the command to define the bar. You're basically just going to add a PICTURE or PICTRES clause to the DEFINE BAR command (eg. just add it plus the property value to the string).
