Adding a progress bar in the StatusBar of MSProject

[dotnet-force]

Hi,

I'm developping a MS Project Addin.
I want to display some information in the StatusBar of MSProject
(usually "Ready" is displayed or "Save xxxx" and a progress bar).

As the StatusBar property of the Application object is a string, I'm
able to display some messages. But I have a action which takes long time
and I want to add a progress bar (as the load or save command did) to
show that the action is running.

Can you give some information on how to do that ?

Thanks.

Hi Pascal,

Thank you for posting in MSDN managed newsgroup!

This display in the process bar is not easy to implement. We should use
Win32 api in VBA code to create one process bar. So far as I know, the best
implementaion for the processbar in the statusbar is from David Wiseman. He
built one class for the process bar and one sample for the excel file. You
will learn a lot from it for your own process bar in Project statusbar.
This sample can be obtained from this link:
http://www.j-walk.com/ss/excel/files/developer.htm

The sample is located at "Control the LED Display in the StatusBar" of that
page.

Please feel free to let me know if you have any further questions.

Does this answer your question? Thank you for using Microsoft NewsGroup!
