Active X Control Question

[John C.]

I have an ActiveX control on my form that I would like to
use.

It's a proress bar.

I've never used one before, how do I change the view to
show progress as a long task is executing?

 

[Albert D. Kallal]

I believe that you have to update the bar. So, if it is a long task, then
you have to feed the bar with some event.

I have working sample on my site that does NOT need a activeX control, but
looks much like one. It also can be give a time amount, and has a "mind" of
its own while your code runs.

The progress bar of mine can be found in the word merge sample at a my site.
Just run the word merge sample, and you will a form to "test" the progress
bar.
