How do i create loading bar like windows 98 in visual basic 2005 for my application?
It's a progress bar....





uhmm..





try this





progressbar1.min = 0


i = 0


progressbar1.max = 100





while(progressbar1.value != progressbar1.max)


i = i +1


progressbar.value = i


loop





(counts from 1 to 100 then moves the value of the progressbar) hope it helps
Reply:It really depends on how you want the bar to work, and what will be happening when the bar is showing. If you are talking about a bar that shows while your app is starting, I am thinking that would be rather difficult. If you are talking about a progress bar that shows the progress of an recordset being loaded, you can use something like this :

I used it in one of my apps, and it works fairly well. The basic concept is simply to define a transparent rectangle, then overlay it with one of a different color whose size grows according to some parameter you set. Of course, I was working in VBA - there may be some type of functionality built into 2005 not available in VBA. Good luck.
