Does anybody have a link to a control that is free that looks like...
You know in xp, you have a kind of a statusbar, but instead of working from
one side to another, its, going side to side, like a statusbar that is
never ending...

You know, like a progressbar but insted it shows that the app is working...

Thanks AirPete! ;-)
It was almost as I wanted it (the rest I think I can to myself), however, it
flickers alot, do you know a way to avoid the flickering?

If you are using VS.NET 2003, add this to your 'Sub Main':

\\\
Application.EnableVisualStyles()
Application.DoEvents()
Application.Run(New MainForm())
///

I would take some screenshots of the XP one:
The Upper Left Border
The Upper Right Border
The Upper Middle Border
and so on, plus the actual progress "bars",
then combine them together in the Paint event.

The flickering can be solved by double buffering (draw to hidden surface,
then blit to screen).
