Quick and _very_ dirty:

\\\
Private Declare Auto Function SendMessage Lib "user32.dll " ( _
ByVal hwnd As IntPtr, _
ByVal wMsg As Int32, _
ByVal wParam As Int32, _
ByVal lParam As Int32 _
) As Int32

Private Sub PbSetForeColor( _
ByVal Pb As ProgressBar, _
ByVal NewColor As Int32 _
)
SendMessage(Pb. Handle, &H2001, 0, NewColor)
End Sub

Private Sub PbSetBackColor( _
ByVal Pb As ProgressBar, _
ByVal NewColor As Int32 _
)
SendMessage(Pb. Handle, &H409, 0, NewColor)
End Sub

Private Sub Form1_Load( _
ByVal sender As System.Object, _
ByVal e As System.EventArg s _
) Handles MyBase.Load
PbSetForeColor( Me.ProgressBar1 , RGB(255, 0, 0)) ' Rot.
PbSetBackColor( Me.ProgressBar1 , RGB(0, 0, 255)) ' Blau.
Me.ProgressBar1 .Minimum = 0
Me.ProgressBar1 .Maximum = 100
Me.ProgressBar1 .Value = 50
End Sub

In other programming languages I've been able to easily change the style of a progress bar between smooth and blocked. I find that is either really hidden or impossible in .NET. Am I missing something? I'm shocked that .NET doesn't have a style property for the progressbar control! -- - Mitchell Vincent - kBilling - An easy and affordable billing solution

Since some controls such as the DataGridView take a long time to update themselves when performing certain tasks, I have added a StatusStrip with a ProgressBar on it. While I am updating the controls on the form, I want the ProgressBar to scroll in marquee mode. However, I cannot seem to get this to work. I set the StatusStripLabel to the text I want such as "Updating data..." and then set the ProgressBar's Style property to Marquee...

In Windows 11 and 10, there is no way to turn off the Windows Update option using the Control Panel or Settings app; it automatically checks for updates and installs any it finds, whether you like it or not. For most users, this new feature is actually very convenient. If you want to control the update process,...
