StatusBar Replacement

[William Foster]

Good afternoon all,

I am converting a program that does data validation on roughly 2 million
records from running in Microsoft Excel to Microsoft Visual Basic 2003
..NET; the problem I have is that in Microsoft Excel I had a constant
update via programming of the StatusBar to determine what row and
percentage of the job was complete at any point. In Microsoft Visual
Basic 2003 .NET I have been unable to do this, given that there is no
StatusBar; I tried updating a label on my program but this won't update.

Any ideas or hints of places to look for a solution would be greatly
appreciated. As you can imagine after about 5 to 10 minutes the users
wonder if the program has failed or is still working.

Yours sincerely,

William Foster

Re: StatusBar Replacement

Good afternoon all,

Please disregard this query, I have since found that Microsoft Visual
Basic 2003 .NET comes with an inbuilt Status Bar I can use.

If any one knows how to change its colour that would be greatly
appreciated.

Yours sincerely,

William Foster
