VB6 has a ProgressBar control. Just go to Project | Components and add a reference to Microsoft Windows Common Controls. The online help will tell you how to use it.

This isn't possible. You need to know when the end_character is going to be received, otherwise you can't fill up a progress bar so that as soon as it is filled up, the end_character is received.

I mean, you can't tell the speed which the progress bar needs to be filled up at just from a start_character. It could be 10 pixels a second or 1 pixel a day for all it knows.

Unless you have some kind of way of knowing how many characters long the data which you receive will be, I don't see how this is possible.

Yes, if the length of the process is unknown, maybe it'd be better to just put up a picturebox and draw something moving along it, like an animation. Or for that matter, see whether one of the animations supplied with Windows XP is appropriate. For example, when copying a large file, I generally show the little "files flying to another folder" video.
