Progress Bar

Hi folks,
I got a question about using VB to make a bar, I know
that progress bar
in VS is built-in and you don't need to really code it.
But the bar I want
to make is kinda like a bar fill with color and with the
percentage (say,
100% is the max) goes up, the color would be different,
for example, if you
have winamp with the base skin, the higher the volume it
goes, the color
would turn into red; the lower it goes, it will turn
yellow.
This is kinda chanllenge to me and hope I can find
some clues on both
link resources and thoughts.
Thanks
Carl

Why not implement a control like this on your own? For example in a
usercontrol. You can draw the gradient in the control's 'Paint' event
with the 'LinearGradient Fill' class.

I guess it's my turn to ASK a question ;) Briefly my problem: I am developing a Windows app that has several User Controls. On one of these controls, I am copying/processing some rather large binary files, so have created a second thread to do the processing. This thread is set to be the LOWEST priority. So far so good with all that. HOWEVER, I am trying to provide some feedback to the user (the bane of our existence!) via a progress...

Hi, I am having trouble seeing how this bolts together. The UI starts a process which involves a long running database update. All Database activity is handled by a class called DT. DT has a progress event. So I added a bw to the form. The Dowork Calls a method which instantiates a DT and calls its Dataprocessing method.
